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