4. The provider is preparing to take a health history for a new patient. He takes the
patient to a private room and asks the patient to don a hospital gown. After stepping
outside to give the patient sufficient time to change, he then comes back in and asks
permission to conduct the history. He sits next to the patient at eye level, discreetly
observes the patient for any sensory deficits, and asks the patient if he may take brief notes
of the conversation. During the conversation, he gives the patient time to answer questions
fully. He makes sure that his questions do not contain technical terms and quietly observes
the patient’s nonverbal behaviors throughout. Which mistake did the provider make?
A) He should have allowed the patient to remain fully clothed in their own clothing
for their comfort.
B) He should not have omitted technical terminology. Patients like having a chance
to learn.
C) He should have seated himself slightly above eye level to give the patient
nonverbal reassurance of his experience and professionalism.
D) He should have asked explicitly about the nonverbal changes he was noticing in
order to gain a deeper level of understanding of the patient’s current condition.
