interview is to:
a. review data with the client.
b. gather subjective data from the client.
c. gather objective data from the client.
d. fill out the history form or checklist.
CORRECT: B
The interview is a meeting between the respiratory care practitioner and the client. It allows the
collection of subjective data about the client’s feelings regarding his/her
condition. The history should be done before the interview. Although data can be reviewed,
that is not the primary purpose of the interview.

The personal qualities that a respiratory therapist must have to conduct a successful interview include
being an active listener, having a genuine concern for the client, and having empathy. Leading
questions must be avoided. Reassurance may provide a false sense of comfort to the client. Medical
jargon can sound exclusionary and paternalistic to a client.

1. Age
2. Chief complaint
3. Present health
4. Family history

or the client’s home), efforts should be made to (1) ensure privacy, (2) prevent interruptions, and (3)
secure a comfortable physical environment (e.g., comfortable room temperature, sufficient lighting,
absence of noise). An interviewer of either gender, who acts professionally, should be able to
interview a client of either gender.
