, NURS 5220 Exam‘1: Key‘Questions and Answers with | | | | | |




Rationales (M‘odules 1, Chapters 1-8) | | | |




i. During an initial interview with y‘our patient, y‘ou ask the patient, ”Can y‘ou describe
| | | | | | | | | | | | |


|that for m‘e?” Which statem‘ent best describes the question?
| | | | | | | |


A. It is the m‘ost risky‘ty‘pe of question because the patient can say‘any‘thing.
| | | | | | | | | | |


B. The question is asking for specific inform‘ation.
| | | | | |


C. The patient has discretion about the extent of the answer.
| | | | | | | | |


D. The answer can lead the interviewer away‘from‘the purpose of the interview.
| | | | | | | | | |


Answer: C |


Rationale: This question is an exam‘ple of an open-ended question. Open-ended questions are
| | | | | | | | | | | |


|designed to give the patient control and discretion over how m‘uch inform‘ation to share and
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |


|how to fram‘e their response. While the answer could lead the interviewer away‘from‘the
| | | | | | | | | | | |


|purpose (option D), the best and m‘ost direct description of the question is that it gives the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


|patient discretion (option C). Option A is incorrect because leading questions, not open-ended
| | | | | | | | | | | |


|ones, are considered the m‘ost risky.‘ Option B describes a closed or direct question.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |




z. Because an adolescent is often reluctant to talk during an interview, it is best to:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


A. tell the patient that y‘ou m‘ust have straight answers to y‘our questions.
| | | | | | | | | | |


B. ensure confidentiality‘regarding the inform‘ation discussed.
| | | |


C. inform‘the patient that adolescents have trouble expressing their feelings.
| | | | | | | |


D. obtain the history‘from‘a parent or other fam‘ily‘m‘em‘ber.
| | | | | |


Answer: B |


Rationale: Adolescents have a critical need for confidentiality‘to feel safe discussing sensitive
| | | | | | | | | | |


topics. Ensuring them‘that the conversation is private (with lim‘its, such as risk of harm)‘ is
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


the m‘ost effective way‘to build trust and encourage them‘to open up. Option A can feel
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |


confrontational. Option C is patronizing and assum‘es feelings they‘m‘ay‘not have. Option D
| | | | | | | | | | | |


by‘passes the adolescent entirely,‘ mi‘ssing a key‘opportunity‘to engage them‘directly‘in their
| | | | | | | | | |


own healthcare.

A. Children
B. Adolescents
C. Adults
D. Older |adults
