MULTIPLE CHOICE wj




1. The respiratory care practitioner is conducting a patient interview. The main purpose of this
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



interview is to: wj wj



a. review data with the patient. wj wj wj wj



b. gather subjective data from the patient. wj wj wj wj wj



c. gather objective data from the patient. wj wj wj wj wj



d. fill out the history form or checklist. wj wj wj wj wj wj




ANS: B w j



The interview is a meeting between the respiratory care practitioner and the patient. It allows the colle
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



ction of subjective data about the patient’s feelings regarding his/her
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



condition. The history should be done before the interview. Although data can be reviewed, t
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



hat is not the primary purpose of the interview.
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj




2. For there to be a successful interview, the respiratory therapist must:
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



a. provide leading questions to guide the patient. wj wj wj wj wj wj



b. reassure the patient. wj wj



c. be an active listener. wj wj wj



d. use medical terminology to show knowledge of the subject matter.

The personal qualities that a respiratoryUtherapist
S N T must haveOto conduct a successful interview include
wj wj wj wj wj

wj wj wj
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



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



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



can sound exclusionary and paternalistic to a patient.
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj

wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



1. Age
2. Chief complaint wj



3. Present health wj

ANS: D w j



Age, chief complaint, present health, and family history are typically found on a health history f
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



orm because each can impact the patient’s health. Health insurance provider information, while ne
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



eded for billing purposes, would not be found on the history form.

, 4. External factors the respiratory care practitioner should make efforts to provide during an
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



interview include which of the following? wj wj wj wj wj



1. Minimize or prevent interruptions. wj wj wj



2. Ensure privacy during discussions. wj wj wj



3. Interviewer is the same sex as the patient to prevent bias. wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



4. Be comfortable for the patient and interviewer.

b. 2, 3 wj



c. 1, 2, 4 wj wj



d. 2, 3, 4 wj wj




ANS: C w j w j



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



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



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



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



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



w a patient of either gender.
wj wj wj wj wj




5. The respiratory therapist is conducting a patient interview. The therapist chooses to use
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



open-ended questions. Open- wj wj



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



1. Gather information when a patient introduces a new topic. wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



2. Introduce a new subject area. wj wj wj wj



3. Begin the interview process. wj wj wj



4. Gather specific information. wj wj

b. 1, 3 wj



c. 1, 2, 3 wj wj



d. 2, 3, 4 wj wj




ANS: C w j w j



An open- wj



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



more information from a patient’s topic. Closed or direct questions are used to gather specific inform
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



ation.

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



1. speed up the interview. wj wj wj



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



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



4. gather specific information. wj wj



a. 1, 4 wj



b. 2, 3 wj



c. 3, 4 wj



d. 1, 2, 3 wj wj




ANS: A w j w j



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



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



respiratory therapist show empathy.
wj wj wj wj

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



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



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



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



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



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



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




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



in which of the following situations?
wj wj wj wj wj



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



b. After a direct question wj wj wj



c. After an open-ended question wj wj wj



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




ANS: C w j



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



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



his pause allows the patient to add something else before moving on. The patient may also choose to a
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



sk a question.
wj wj

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



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



ement made by the patient. This may prompt a further discussion. Reflection helps the patient focus o
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



n specific areas and continues in his/her own way. Facilitation encourages patients to say more, to co
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



ntinue with the story. The respiratory therapist should avoid giving advice, using avoidance language
wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj wj



, and using distancing language.
wj wj wj wj




10. When closing the interview, the respiratory therapist should do which of the following?

2. Thank the patient. wj wj
