HESI PREP - HEALTH ASSESSMENT 2024 UPDATEMULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS A+ GRADE
1. In an interview, the nurse may find it necessary to take notes
c c c c c c c c c c c c
to aid his or her memory later. Which statement is true
c c c c c c c c c c c
regarding note-taking?
c c c
A) Note-taking may impede the nurse's observation of the patient's
c c c c c c c c c
nonverbal behaviors.
c c
B) Note-taking allows the patient to continue at his or her own pace
c c c c c c c c c c c c
as the nurse records what is said.
c c c c c c c
C) Note-taking allows the nurse to shift attention away from the
c c c c c c c c c c
patient, resulting in an increased comfort level.
c c c c c c c
D) Note-taking allows the nurse to break eye contact with the
c c c c c c c c c c
patient, which may increase his or her level of comfort.
c c cANS: c c c c c c c cccccccccc cc
A) Note-taking may impede the nurse's observation of the patient's
c c c c c c c c c c
nonverbal behaviors.
c c
Page: 31 Some use of history forms and note-taking may be
c c c c c c c c c c
unavoidable. But be aware that note-taking during the interview has
c c c c c c c c c c
disadvantages. It breaks eye contact too often, and it shifts attention
c c c c c c c c c c c
away from the patient, which diminishes his or her sense of
c c c c c c c c c c c
importance. It also may interrupt the patient's narrative flow, and it
c c c c c c c c c c c
impedes the observation of the patient's nonverbal behavior.
c c c c c c c c
,2. During an interview, the nurse states, "You mentioned
c c c c c c c c
shortness of breath. Tell me more about that." Which verbal
c c c c c c c c c c
skill is used with this statement?
c c c c c c
A) Reflection
c
B) Facilitation
c
C) Direct question
c c
D) Open-ended question
c c cccccccccc ANS: D) Open-ended question
ccc c c
Page: 32 The open-ended question asks for narrative information. It
c c c c c c c c c
states the topic to be discussed but only in general terms. The nurse
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
should use it to begin the interview, to introduce a new section of
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
questions, and whenever the person introduces a new topic.
c c c c c c c c c
3. A nurse is taking complete health histories on all of the
c c c c c c c c c c c
patients attending a wellness workshop. On the history form,
c c c c c c c c c
one of the written questions asks, "You don't smoke, drink, or
c c c c c c c c c c c
take drugs, do you?" This question is an example of:
c c c c c c c c c c
A) talking too much.
c c c
B) using confrontation.
c c
C) using biased or leading questions.
c c c c c
D) using blunt language to deal with distasteful topics.
c c c c c c c c cccccccccc ANS: cc
C) using biased or leading questions.
c c c c c c
,Page: 36 This is an example of using leading or biased questions.
c c c c c c c c c c c
Asking, "You don't smoke, do you?" implies that one answer is
c c c c c c c c c c c
"better" than another. If the person wants to please someone, he or
c c c c c c c c c c c c
she is either forced to answer in a way corresponding to their
c c c c c c c c c c c c
implied values or is made to feel guilty when admitting the other
c c c c c c c c c c c c
answer.
c
4. During an interview, a parent of a hospitalized child is sitting
c c c c c c c c c c c
in an open position. As the interviewer begins to discuss his
c c c c c c c c c c c
son's treatment, however, he suddenly crosses his arms against
c c c c c c c c c
his chest and crosses his legs. This would suggest that the
c c c c c c c c c c c
parent is:
c c
A) just changing positions.
c c c
B) more comfortable in this position.
c c c c c
C) tired and needs a break from the interview.
c c c c c c c c
D) uncomfortable talking about his son's treatment.
c c c c c c cccccccccc ANS: D) ccc
uncomfortable talking about his son's treatment.
c c c c c c
Page: 37 Note the person's position. An open position with the
c c c c c c c c c c
extension of large muscle groups shows relaxation, physical
c c c c c c c c
comfort, and a willingness to share information. A closed position
c c c c c c c c c c
with the arms and legs crossed tends to look defensive and anxious.
c c c c c c c c c c c c
Note any change in posture. If a person in a relaxed position
c c c c c c c c c c c c
suddenly tenses, it suggests possible discomfort with the new topic.
c c c c c c c c c c
5. The nurse is interviewing a patient who has a hearing
c c c c c c c c c c
impairment. What techniques would be most beneficial in
c c c c c c c c
communicating with this patient?
c c c c
, A) Determine the communication method he prefers.
c c c c c c
B) Avoid using facial and hand gestures because most hearing-
c c c c c c c c c
impaired people find this degrading. c c c c
C) Request a sign language interpreter before meeting with him to
c c c c c c c c c c
help facilitate the communication.
c c c c
D) Speak loudly and with exaggerated facial movement when
c c c c c c c c
talking with him because this helps with lip reading.
c c ANS: A)
c c c c c c c cccccccccc ccc
Determine the communication method he prefers.
c c c c c c
Pages: 40-41 The nurse should ask the deaf person the preferred
c c c c c c c c c c
way to communicate—by signing, lip reading, or writing. If the
c c c c c c c c c c
person prefers lip reading, then the nurse should be sure to face him
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
or her squarely and have good lighting on the nurse's face. The
c c c c c c c c c c c c
nurse should not exaggerate lip movements because this distorts
c c c c c c c c c
words. Similarly, shouting distorts the reception of a hearing aid the
c c c c c c c c c c c
person may wear. The nurse should speak slowly and should
c c c c c c c c c c
supplement his or her voice with appropriate hand gestures or
c c c c c c c c c c
pantomime.
c
6. The nurse is performing a health interview on a patient who
c c c c c c c c c c c
has a language barrier, and no interpreter is available. Which is
c c c c c c c c c c c
the best example of an appropriate question for the nurse to ask
c c c c c c c c c c c c
in this situation?
c c c
A) "Do you take medicine?"
c c c c
B) "Do you sterilize the bottles?"
c c c c c
C) "Do you have nausea and vomiting?"
