Chapter 1 Obtaining an Initial History
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The nurse is seeing an adolescent and the parents in the clinic for the first time. Which should the
nurse do first?
a. Introduce him- or herself.
b. Make the family comfortable.
c. Give assurance of privacy.
d. Explain the purpose of the interview. ANS: A
The first thing that nurses must do is to introduce themselves to the patient and family. Parents and other
adults should be addressed with appropriate titles unless they specify a preferred name. Clarification of the
purpose of the interview and the nurses role is the second thing that should be done. During the initial part of
the interview, the nurse should include general conversation to help make the family feel at ease. The
interview also should take place in an environment as free of distraction as possible. In addition, the nurse
should clarify which information will be shared with other members of the health care team and any limits to
the confidentiality.
2. Which is considered a block to effective communication?
a. Using silence
b. Using clichs
3|P ag e
, c. Directing the focus
d. Defining the problem ANS: B
Using stereotyped comments or clichs can block effective communication. After the nurse uses such trite
phrases, parents often do not respond. Silence can be an effective interviewing tool. Silence permits the
interviewee to sort out thoughts and feelings and search for responses to questions. To be effective, the nurse
must be able to direct the focus of the interview while allowing maximum freedom of expression. By using
open-ended questions and guiding questions, the nurse can obtain the necessary information and maintain a
relationship with the family. The nurse and parent must collaborate and define the problem that will be the
focus of the nursing intervention.
3. Which is the single most important factor to consider when communicating with children?
a. Presence of the childs parent
b. Childs physical condition
c. Childs developmental level
d. Childs nonverbal behaviors ANS: C
The nurse must be aware of the childs developmental stage to engage in effective communication. The use of
both verbal and nonverbal communication should be appropriate to the developmental level. Nonverbal
behaviors vary in importance based on the childs developmental level and physical condition. Although the
childs physical condition is a consideration, developmental level is much more important. The presence of
parents is important when communicating with young children but may be detrimental when speaking with
adolescents.
4. Because children younger than 5 years are egocentric, the nurse should do which when
communicating with them?
a. Focus communication on the child.
b. Use easy analogies when possible.
c. Explain experiences of others to the child.
d. Assure the child that communication is private. ANS: A
Because children of this age are able to see things only in terms of themselves, the best approach is to focus
communication directly on them. Children should be provided with information about what they can do and
how they will feel. With children who are egocentric, analogies, experiences, and assurances that
communication is private will not be effective because the child is not capable of understanding.
5. The nurses approach when introducing hospital equipment to a preschooler who seems afraid should
be based on which principle?
a. The child may think the equipment is alive.
