THAT MAY BE COLLECTED DURING A HEALTH ASSESSMENT?
A) HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
B) A PATIENT’S RECALL OF HIS OR HER PAST HEALTH CONDITIONS
C) RESULTS FROM AN ABDOMINAL CT SCAN
D) COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT
ANS>> B
FEEDBACK: SUBJECTIVE DATA REFERS TO INFORMATION REPORTED
BY THE PATIENT, SUCH AS THEIR FEELINGS, PERCEPTIONS, AND
EXPERIENCES. IN THIS CASE, A PATIENT’S RECALL OF PAST HEALTH
CONDITIONS IS SUBJECTIVE BECAUSE IT IS BASED ON THEIR PERSONAL
MEMORY AND INTERPRETATION. IN CONTRAST, OPTIONS A, C, AND D
REPRESENT OBJECTIVE DATA THAT CAN BE MEASURED OR
QUANTIFIED.
COMPLEXITY: MODERATE
AHEAD: FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERVIEW AND HEALTH HISTORY
SUBJECT: CHAPTER 1
TITLE: INTERVIEW AND HISTORY-TAKING STRATEGIES

OBJECTIVE DATA AND HELPS TO ADDRESS THE PATIENT'S PERSONAL
EXPERIENCES AND PREFERENCES, MAKING IT INVALUABLE FOR
INDIVIDUALIZED CARE. THE OTHER OPTIONS MISUNDERSTAND THE
IMPORTANCE OF SUBJECTIVE DATA.
COMPLEXITY: DIFFICULT
AHEAD: FUNCTIONS OF THE INTERVIEW AND HEALTH HISTORY
SUBJECT: CHAPTER 1
TITLE: INTERVIEW AND HISTORY-TAKING STRATEGIES

TOTAL COMMUNICATION . . . AND LETTING THE PATIENT KNOW THAT

B) PATIENCE
C) EMPATHY
D) TOP-TIER COMMUNICATION

FEEDBACK: EMPATHY INVOLVES FULLY UNDERSTANDING AND
VALIDATING THE PATIENT’S FEELINGS AND PERSPECTIVES. IT’S ABOUT
BEING PRESENT AND ACTIVELY LISTENING, WHICH ENHANCES THE
THERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP AND COMMUNICATION. THE OTHER
OPTIONS, WHILE IMPORTANT IN HEALTHCARE, DO NOT ENCAPSULATE
THE ESSENCE OF THIS DEFINITION.
COMPLEXITY: MODERATE AHEAD: INTERVIEWING
