Questions And Answers 2024 With
Valid Questions And Answers
Graded A

,1. In an interview, the nurse may find it necessary to take notes to aid his or
her memory later. Which statement is true regarding note-taking?

A) Note-taking may impede the nurse's observation of the patient's
nonverbal behaviors.
B) Note-taking allows the patient to continue at his or her own pace as the
nurse records what is said.
C) Note-taking allows the nurse to shift attention away from the patient,
resulting in an increased comfort level.
D) Note-taking allows the nurse to break eye contact with the patient,
which may increase his or her level of comfort. - ans A) Note-taking may
impede the nurse's observation of the patient's nonverbal behaviors.

Page: 31 Some use of history forms and note-taking may be unavoidable.
But be aware that note-taking during the interview has disadvantages. It
breaks eye contact too often, and it shifts attention away from the patient,
which diminishes his or her sense of importance. It also may interrupt the
patient's narrative flow, and it impedes the observation of the patient's
nonverbal behavior.

2. During an interview, the nurse states, "You mentioned shortness of
breath. Tell me more about that." Which verbal skill is used with this
statement?

A) Reflection
B) Facilitation
C) Direct question
D) Open-ended question - ans D) Open-ended question

Page: 32 The open-ended question asks for narrative information. It states
the topic to be discussed but only in general terms. The nurse should use it
to begin the interview, to introduce a new section of questions, and
whenever the person introduces a new topic.

,3. A nurse is taking complete health histories on all of the patients
attending a wellness workshop. On the history form, one of the written
questions asks, "You don't smoke, drink, or take drugs, do you?" This
question is an example of:

A) talking too much.
B) using confrontation.
C) using biased or leading questions.
D) using blunt language to deal with distasteful topics. - ans C) using
biased or leading questions.

Page: 36 This is an example of using leading or biased questions. Asking,
"You don't smoke, do you?" implies that one answer is "better" than
another. If the person wants to please someone, he or she is either forced to
answer in a way corresponding to their implied values or is made to feel
guilty when admitting the other answer.

4. During an interview, a parent of a hospitalized child is sitting in an open
position. As the interviewer begins to discuss his son's treatment, however,
he suddenly crosses his arms against his chest and crosses his legs. This
would suggest that the parent is:

A) just changing positions.
B) more comfortable in this position.
C) tired and needs a break from the interview.
D) uncomfortable talking about his son's treatment. - ans D) uncomfortable
talking about his son's treatment.

Page: 37 Note the person's position. An open position with the extension of
large muscle groups shows relaxation, physical comfort, and a willingness
to share information. A closed position with the arms and legs crossed
tends to look defensive and anxious. Note any change in posture. If a
person in a relaxed position suddenly tenses, it suggests possible
discomfort with the new topic.

, 5. The nurse is interviewing a patient who has a hearing impairment. What
techniques would be most beneficial in communicating with this patient?

A) Determine the communication method he prefers.
B) Avoid using facial and hand gestures because most hearing-impaired
people find this degrading.
C) Request a sign language interpreter before meeting with him to help
facilitate the communication.
D) Speak loudly and with exaggerated facial movement when talking with
him because this helps with lip reading. - ans A) Determine the
communication method he prefers.

Pages: 40-41 The nurse should ask the deaf person the preferred way to
communicate—by signing, lip reading, or writing. If the person prefers lip
reading, then the nurse should be sure to face him or her squarely and have
good lighting on the nurse's face. The nurse should not exaggerate lip
movements because this distorts words. Similarly, shouting distorts the
reception of a hearing aid the person may wear. The nurse should speak
slowly and should supplement his or her voice with appropriate hand
gestures or pantomime.

6. The nurse is performing a health interview on a patient who has a
language barrier, and no interpreter is available. Which is the best example
of an appropriate question for the nurse to ask in this situation?

A) "Do you take medicine?"
B) "Do you sterilize the bottles?"
C) "Do you have nausea and vomiting?"
D) "You have been taking your medicine, haven't you?" - ans A) "Do you
take medicine?"

Page: 46 In a situation where there is a language barrier and no interpreter
available, use simple words avoiding medical jargon. Avoid using
contractions and pronouns. Use nouns repeatedly and discuss one topic at
a time.
