Chapter 1 Interview and History Taking Strategies
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The nurse is conducting an interview with a woman who has recently learned
that she is pregnant and who has come to the clinic today to begin prenatal care.
The woman states that she and her husband are excited about the pregnancy but have
a few questions. She looks nervously at her hands during the interview and sighs
loudly. Considering the concept of communication, which statement does the nurse
know to be most accurate? The woman is:
a. Excited about her pregnancy but nervous about the labor.
b. Exhibiting verbal and nonverbal behaviors that do not match.
c. Excited about her pregnancy, but her husband is not and this is upsetting
to her. d.
Not excited about her pregnancy but believes the nurse will negatively respond to
her if she states this.
ANS: B
Communication is all behaviors, conscious and unconscious, verbal and nonverbal.
All behaviors have meaning. Her behavior does not imply that she is nervous about
labor, upset by her husband, or worried about the nurses response.
2. Receiving is a part of the communication process. Which receiver is most
likely to misinterpret a message sent by a health care professional?
a. Well-adjusted adolescent who came in for a sports physical
b. Recovering alcoholic who came in for a basic physical examination
c. Man whose wife has just been diagnosed with lung cancer d.
Man with a hearing impairment who uses sign language to communicate and who has an
interpreter with him
ANS: C
The receiver attaches meaning determined by his or her experiences, culture, self-
concept, and current physical and emotional states. The man whose wife has just
been diagnosed with lung cancer may be experiencing emotions that affect his
receiving.
3. The nurse makes which adjustment in the physical environment to promote the
success of an interview?
a. Reduces noise by turning off televisions and radios
, b. Reduces the distance between the interviewer and the patient to 2 feet or
less
c. Provides a dim light that makes the room cozy and helps the patient relax
d. Arranges seating across a desk or table to allow the patient some personal
space
ANS: A
The nurse should reduce noise by turning off the television, radio, and other
unnecessary equipment, because multiple stimuli are confusing. The interviewer and
patient should be approximately 4 to 5 feet apart; the room should be well-lit,
enabling the interviewer and patient to see each other clearly. Having a table or
desk in between the two people creates the idea of a barrier; equal-status
seating, at eye level, is better.
4. In an interview, the nurse may find it necessary to take notes to aid his
or her memory later. Which statement is trueregarding note-taking?
a. Note-taking may impede the nurses observation of the patients nonverbal
behaviors.
b. Note-taking allows the patient to continue at his or her own pace as the
nurse records what is said.
c. Note-taking allows the nurse to shift attention away from the patient,
resulting in an increased comfort level.
d. Note-taking allows the nurse to break eye contact with the patient, which may
increase his or her level of comfort.
ANS: A
The use of history forms and note-taking may be unavoidable. However, the nurse
must be aware that note-taking during the interview has disadvantages. It breaks
eye contact too often and shifts the attention away from the patient, which
diminishes his or her sense of importance. Notetaking may also interrupt the
patients narrative flow, and it impedes the observation of the patient’s nonverbal
behavior.
5. The nurse asks, I would like to ask you some questions about your health
and your usual daily activities so that we can better plan your stay here. This
question is found at the phase of the interview process.
