4. The provider is preparing to take a health history for a new patient. He takes the patient to a
private room and asks the patient to don a hospital gown. After stepping outside to give the patient
sufficient time to change, he then comes back in and asks permission to conduct the history. He sits
next to the patient at eye level, discreetly observes the patient for any sensory deficits, and asks the
patient if he may take brief notes of the conversation. During the conversation, he gives the patient
time to answer questions fully. He makes sure that his questions do not contain technical terms and
quietly observes the patient’s nonverbal behaviors throughout. Which mistake did the provider
make?
A) He should have allowed the patient to remain fully clothed in their own clothing for their comfort.
B) He should not have omitted technical terminology. Patients like having a chance to learn.
C) He should have seated himself slightly above eye level to give the patient nonverbal
reassurance of his experience and professionalism.
D) He should have asked explicitly about the nonverbal changes he was noticing in order to
gain a deeper level of understanding of the patient’s current condition.
