Chapter 01: The History and Interviewing Process
Ball: Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination, 9th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which question would be considered a “leading question?”
a.
“What do you think is causing your headaches?”
b.
“You don’t get headaches often, do you?”
c.
“On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the severity of your headaches?”
d.
“At what time of the day are your headaches the most severe?”
ANS: B
Stating to the patient that he or she does not get headaches would limit the information in
the patient’s answer. Asking the patient what he or she thinks is causing the headaches is an
open-ended question. Asking the patient how he or she would rate the severity of the
headaches and asking what time of the day the headaches are the most severe are direct
questions.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Applying (Application)
OBJ: Nursing process—assessment MSC: Physiologic Integrity: Physiologic Adaptation
2. When are open-ended questions generally most useful?
a.
During sensitive area part of the interview
b.
After several closed-ended questions have been asked
c.
While designing the genogram
d.
During the review of I G B.C M
syst ems
N R U S N T O
ANS: A
Asking open-ended questions during the sensitive part of the interview allows you to gather
more information and establishes you as an empathic listener, which is the first step of
effective communication. Asking closed-ended questions may stifle the patient’s desire to
discuss the history of the illness. Interviewing for the purpose of designing a genogram or
conducting a review of systems requires more focused data than can be more easily gathered
with direct questioning.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding (Comprehension)
OBJ: Nursing process—assessment MSC: Physiologic Integrity: Physiologic Adaptation
3. Periods of silence during the interview can serve important purposes, such as:
a.
allowing the clinician to catch up on documentation.
b.
promoting calm.
c.
providing time for reflection.
d.
increasing the length of the visit.
ANS: C
Silence is a useful tool during interviews for the purposes of reflection, summoning courage,
and displaying compassion. This is not a time to document in the chart, but rather to focus
on the patient. Periods of silence may cause anxiety rather than promote calm. The length of
the visit is less important than getting critical information.
