Multiple-Choice Questions
1. A clinician is conducting a first-time patient interview. Which opening approach best establishes
rapport and respects the patient's autonomy?
• A) "I need you to answer these questions quickly because I have other patients."
• B) "Why didn't you come in sooner for this problem?"
• C) "Hello, my name is Dr. Smith. Would it be alright if I ask you some questions about your
health?"
• D) "Hello, my name is Dr. Smith. Would it be alright if I ask you some questions about
your health?"
Asking permission shows respect for the patient's autonomy and helps build trust. Options
A and B are abrupt or judgmental, which can damage rapport. Option C lacks an introduction
and consent-seeking behavior.
2. Which interviewing technique is most effective for exploring a patient's concerns without leading
the response?
• A) "Did the pain start after you ate?"
• B) "You must be very worried about this, right?"
• C) "What brought you in today?"
• D) "I think your symptoms sound like anxiety."
An open-ended question like "What brought you in today?" allows the patient to express
concerns in their own words. Options A, B, and D are leading or suggestive, which can bias
the history.
3. A patient states, "I've had this cough for three months." Which follow-up question best clarifies
the timeline?
• A) "Do you smoke?"
• B) "Is the cough dry or wet?"
• C) "When did you first notice the cough?"
• D) "Have you seen a specialist?"
Asking for the exact onset clarifies the timeline. Options A and B explore associated factors
but not chronology. Option D jumps to management too early.
, 4. During an interview, the patient looks down and becomes silent after discussing a recent job loss.
What is the most appropriate response?
• A) "Let's move on to the next question."
• B) "You should be grateful you have family support."
• C) "It seems like that was a difficult time for you."
• D) "Why didn't you look for a new job immediately?"
Reflecting feelings and showing empathy encourages the patient to share more when
ready. Options A and D are dismissive or judgmental. Option B minimizes the patient's
emotions.
5. Which question is an example of a closed-ended question?
• A) "How has your fatigue affected your daily routine?"
• B) "Are you taking any medications?"
• C) "What concerns you most about your health right now?"
• D) "Can you tell me more about your chest pain?"
Closed-ended questions elicit a yes/no or short factual answer. Options A, C, and D are
open-ended and encourage elaboration.
6. A patient reports intermittent chest pain. Using the OLDCARTS mnemonic, which question
addresses the "Duration" component?
• A) "Where is the pain located?"
• B) "What does the pain feel like?"
• C) "How long does the pain last when you get it?"
• D) "What makes the pain better or worse?"
Duration asks how long the symptom lasts when it occurs. Location is "O"
(Onset/Location), quality is "C" (Character), and aggravating/alleviating factors are separate.
7. Which component is not typically part of the comprehensive adult health history?
• A) Past medical history
• B) Family history
• C) Review of systems
• D) Complete physical exam findings
The health history includes subjective data (what the patient tells you). Physical exam
findings are objective data collected separately after the history.
