ap ap ap
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



being an active listener, having a genuine concern for the patient, and having empathy. Leading questi
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ons must be avoided. Reassurance may provide a false sense of comfort to the patient. Medical jargon

can sound exclusionary and paternalistic to a patient.

External factors, such as a good physical setting, enhance the interviewing process. Regardless of the
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



interview setting (the patient’s bedside, a crowded emergency room, an office in the hospital or clinic,
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



or the patient’s home), efforts should be made to (1) ensure privacy, (2) prevent interruptions, and (3)
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



secure a comfortable physical environment (e.g., comfortable room temperature, sufficient lighting, a
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



bsence of noise). An interviewer of either gender, who acts professionally, should be able to interview
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



a patient of either gender.

ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap

ended questions allow the therapist to do which of the following?
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap

ANS: C a p ap



An open- ap



ended question should be used to start the interview, introduce a new section of questions, and gather m
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ore information from a patient’s topic. Closed or direct questions are used to gather specific informati
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



on.

6. The direct question interview format is used to:
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



1. speed up the interview. ap ap ap



2. let the patient fully explain his/her situation.
ap ap ap ap ap ap



3. help the respiratory therapist show empathy. ap ap ap ap ap

Direct or closed questions are best to gather specific information and speed up the interview. Open-
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ended questions are best suited to let the patient fully explain his/her situation and possibly help the
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



respiratory therapist show empathy. ap ap ap

, 7. During the interview the patient states, “Every time I climb the stairs I have to stop to catch
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



my breath.” Hearing this, the respiratory therapist replies, “So, it sounds like you get short
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



of breath climbing stairs.” This interviewing technique is called:
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



a. clarification.
b. modeling.
c. empathy.
d. reflection.
ANS: D a p



With reflection, part of the patient’s statement is repeated. This lets the patient know that what he/s
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



he said was heard. It also encourages the patient to elaborate on the topic.
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



Clarification, modeling, and empathy are other communication techniques. ap ap ap ap ap ap ap




8. The respiratory therapist may choose to use the patient interview technique of silence i
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



n which of the following situations?
ap ap ap ap ap



a. To prompt the patient to ask a question ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



b. After a direct question ap ap ap



c. After an open-ended question ap ap ap



d. To allow the patient to review his/her history ap ap ap ap ap ap ap




ANS: C a p



After a patient has answered an open-
ap ap ap ap ap ap



ended question, the respiratory therapist should pause (use silence) before asking the next question. Th
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



is pause allows the patient to add something else before moving on. The patient may also choose to ask
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



a question.

a. Confrontation
b. Reflection
c. Facilitation
d. Distancing
ANS: D a p



With confrontation, the respiratory therapist focuses the patient’s attention on an action, feeling, or state
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



ment made by the patient. This may prompt a further discussion. Reflection helps the patient focus on
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap a



specific areas and continues in his/her own way. Facilitation encourages patients to say more, to conti
p ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



nue with the story. The respiratory therapist should avoid giving advice, using avoidance language, an
ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap ap



d using distancing language.
