sound exclusionary and paternalistic to a patient.

An open-ended question should be used to start the interview, introduce a new section of questions, and
L
TT TT L TT L L
TT TT L L
TT L
TT TT L L
TT L
TT L
TT TT L L
TT L
TT L
TT TT L



gather more information from a patient’s topic. Closed or direct questions are used to gather
TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L L
TT TT L TT L TT L L
TT TT L TT L TT L TT L



specific information.

TT L
TT TT L TT L TT L L
TT TT L L

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



short of breath climbing stairs.” This interviewing technique is called:
TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L



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



With reflection, part of the patient’s statement is repeated. This lets the patient know that what
L
TT L
TT L
TT T L TT L L
TT L
TT L
TT L
TT L
TT L
TT L
TT L
TT TT L L
TT




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

in which of the following situations?

d. To allow the patient to review his/her history L
T L
TT TT L L
TT TT L TT L TT L




ANS: C T T L



After a patient has answered an open-ended question, the respiratory therapist should pause (use
L
TT L
TT TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L L
TT TT L L
TT TT L L
TT TT L



silence) before asking the next question. This pause allows the patient to add something else before
TT L L
TT L
TT TT L L
TT TT L L
TT TT L L
TT TT L L
TT TT L TT L L
TT TT L L

moving on. The patient may also choose to ask a question.

L
TT L

TT TL L
TT L
TT L
TT L

focus on specific areas and continues in his/her own way. Facilitation encourages patients to say
TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L L
TT TT L L
TT




more, to continue with the story. The respiratory therapist should avoid giving advice, using
TT L TT L L

TT TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L L
TT TT L



avoidance language, and using distancing language.

the patient has any questions. If there is no need for the vital signs to be checked, they should not be.

Culture and religious beliefs may have a profound effect on how patients think and behave, and this
TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L L

may impact their health or health care decisions. The role of the respiratory
TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L L

TT TT L TT L L
TT




therapist is not to change the patient’s beliefs, engage in sensitive conversations, or discuss
TT L TT L L
TT TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L TT L



discrimination. Rather, the respiratory therapist needs to understand how these beliefs may impact

the patient’s health care decisions.
