4. The provider is preparing to take a health history for a new patient. He takes the patient to a private
room and asks the patient to don a hospital gown. After stepping outside to give the patient sufficient time
to change, he then comes back in and asks permission to conduct the history. He sits next to the patient
at eye level, discreetly observes the patient for any sensory deficits, and asks the patient if he may take
brief notes of the conversation. During the conversation, he gives the patient time to answer questions
fully. He makes sure that his questions do not contain technical terms and quietly observes the patient’s
nonverbal behaviors throughout. Which mistake did the provider make?
