Chapter 1: The Patient Interview

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. The respiratory care practitioner is conducting a patient interview. The
main purpose of this interview is to:

a. review data with the patient.

b. gather subjective data from the patient.

c. gather objective data from the patient.

d. fill out the history form or checklist.

ANS: B

The interview is a meeting between the respiratory care practitioner and the
patient. It allows the collection of subjective data about the patient’s feelings
regarding his/her

condition. The history should be done before the interview. Although data can be
reviewed,that is not the primary purpose of the interview.

a. provide leading questions to guide the patient.

b. reassure the patient.

c. be an active listener.

d. use medical terminology to show knowledge of the subject matter.

ANS: C N R I G B.C M

The personal qualities that a respiratory therapist must have to conduct a
successful interview include

being an active listener, having a genuine concern for the patient, and having
empathy. Leading questions must be avoided. Reassurance may provide a false sense
of comfort to the patient. Medicaljargon can sound exclusionary and paternalistic
to a patient.

1. Age

2. Chief complaint

3. Present health

4. Family history

5. Health insurance providera. 1, 4

ANS: D

Age, chief complaint, present health, and family history are typically found on a
health history form because each can impact the patient’s health. Health insurance
provider information, whileneeded for billing purposes, would not be found on the
history form.



4. External factors the respiratory care practitioner should make efforts to
provide during an interview include which of the following?

1. Minimize or prevent interruptions.

2. Ensure privacy during discussions.

3. Interviewer is the same sex as the patient to prevent bias.

a. 1, 4

b. 2, 3

c. 1, 2, 4

d. 2, 3, 4

ANS: C

External factors, such as a good physical setting, enhance the interviewing
process. Regardless of the interview setting (the patient’s bedside, a crowded
emergency room, an office in the hospital or clinic, or the patient’s home),
efforts should be made to (1) ensure privacy, (2) prevent interruptions, and (3)
secure a comfortable physical environment (e.g., comfortable room temperature,
sufficient lighting, absence of noise). An interviewer of either gender, who acts
professionally, should be able to interview a patient of either gender.



5. The respiratory therapist is conducting a patient interview. The therapist
chooses to use open-ended questions. Open-ended questions allow the therapist to
do which of the following?

1. Gather information when a patient introduces a new topic.

2. Introduce a new subject area.

3. Begin the interview process.

4. Gather specific information.

An open-ended question should be used to start the interview, introduce a new
section of questions, and gather more information from a patient’s topic. Closed
or direct questions are used to gather specific information.



6. The direct question interview format is used to:

1. speed up the interview.

2. let the patient fully explain his/her situation.

3. help the respiratory therapist show empathy.

4. gather specific information.

a. 1, 4

b. 2, 3

c. 3, 4

d. 1, 2, 3

ANS: A

Direct or closed questions are best to gather specific information and speed up
the interview. Open- ended questions are best suited to let the patient fully
explain his/her situation and possibly help the respiratory therapist show
empathy.



7. During the interview the patient states, “Every time I climb the stairs I
have to stop to catch my breath.” Hearing this, the respiratory therapist replies,
“So, it sounds like you get short of breath climbing stairs.” This interviewing
technique is called:

a. clarification.

b. modeling.

c. empathy.

d. reflection.

ANS: D

With reflection, part of the patient’s statement is repeated. This lets the
patient know that what he/she said was heard. It also encourages the patient to
elaborate on the topic.

Clarification, modeling, and empathy are other communication techniques.



8. The respiratory therapist may choose to use the patient interview technique
of silence in which of the following situations?
