b. reassure the patient.
c. be an active listener.

ANS: C
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.
Medical jargon can sound exclusionary and paternalistic to a patient.

1. Age
2. Chief complaint
3. Present health
4. Family history
5. Health insurance provider a. 1, 4
b. 2, 3
c. 3, 4, 5
d. 1, 2, 3, 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, while
needed for billing purposes, would not be found on the history form.

interview include which of the following?

b. 2, 3

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.

c. 1, 2, 3
d. 2, 3, 4
ANS: C
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.
