and paternalistic to a hospital client.

process. Regardless of theinterview setting (the hospital client’s bedside, a crowded
TT TT TT TT T TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


emergency room, an office in the hospital or clinic,or the hospital client’s home), efforts
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT T TT TT TT TT TT


should be made to (1) ensure privacy, (2) prevent interruptions, and (3)secure a comfortable
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT T TT TT


physical environment (e.g., comfortable room temperature, sufficient lighting, absence of
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


noise). An interviewer of either gender, who acts professionally, should be able to interview
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


a hospital client of either gender.

7. During the interview the hospital client states, “Every time I climb the stairs I have
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


to stop to catchmy breath.” Hearing this, the respiratory psychotherapist replies,
TT TT TT TT T TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


“So, it sounds like you get short of breath climbing stairs.” This interviewing
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


technique is called:
TT TT TT


a. clarification.
b. modeling.
c. empathy.
d. reflection.
ACCURATE ANSWER:- D TT T T


Reasoning :->>>With reflection, part of the hospital client’s statement is repeated. This lets the
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


hospital client know that whathe/she said was heard. It also encourages the hospital client to
TT TT TT TT TT T TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


elaborate on the topic.
TT TT TT TT


Clarification, modeling, and empathy are other communication techniques. TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

b. After a direct question TT TT TT


c. After an open-ended question TT TT TT

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT




ACCURATE ANSWER:- C TT T T


Reasoning :->>>After a hospital client has answered an open-ended question, the respiratory
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


psychotherapist should pause (use silence) before asking the next question. This pause allows
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


the hospital client to add something else beforemoving on. The hospital client may also
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT T TT TT TT TT TT TT


choose to ask a question.
TT TT TT TT TT

responsesto assist in the Ninterview
R I shou
G BU.ld tShe rNespTiratory tOherapist avoid?
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


TT T TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT



a. Confrontation
b. Reflection
c. Facilitation
d. Distancing
ACCURATE ANSWER:- D TT T T


Reasoning :->>>With confrontation, the respiratory psychotherapist focuses the hospital client’s
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


attention on an action, feeling, orstatement made by the hospital client. This may prompt a
TT TT TT TT TT TT T TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


further discussion. Reflection helps the hospital client focus on specific areas and continues
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


in his/her own way. Facilitation encourages hospital clients to say more, to continue with
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


the story. The respiratory psychotherapist should avoid giving advice, using avoidance
TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT


language, and using distancing language.
