generally require only short answers. Closed

"do (did, does)," or "is (are, was)." A highly stressed
person and someone who has difficulty

answer than open-ended questions

associated with the nondirective interview, invite
clients to discover and explore, elaborate, clarify,
or illustrate their thoughts or feelings. An open-
ended question specifies only the broad topic to
be discussed, and invites answers longer than one
or two words. Such questions give clients the
freedom to divulge only the information that they
are ready to disclose. The open-ended question is
useful at the beginning of an interview or to
change topics and to elicit attitudes. Open-ended
questions may begin with "what" or "how."
Errors in Asking Questions ~ Long-winded build-up: KISS principle - keep it
short and simple
~ Multiple choice mix-up: Don't overwhelm the
patient with multiple questions
~ Incomprehensible and cryptic codes - Don't talk
doctor speak
~ Offensive use of "why"
~ Misuse of open and closed questions
