Nurs 125 Health assessment and
symptom analysis Exam Practice
Questions and Answers 100% Pass

how do we speak in a therapeutic verbal way? - ANSWER✔✔-we use a calm tone, we

are relaxed, we introduce ourselves to build familiarity and trust, we ask what they

would like to be called. We actively listen by making eye contact, having an open

posture, leaning forward, being eye level with them, asking open ended questions.


How do we use therapeutic communication with infants and young children? -

ANSWER✔✔-we use a calm tone and are relaxed because they easily pick up on non

verbal behaviours. We do not enter the room if we are anxious. We smile to show

friendliness.


What do we observe in families with newborns? - ANSWER✔✔-We observe how they

interact with the baby, whether they encourage happy behaviour or if their behaviour is

appropriate for the situation. We do not want a irritable patient because this is a reason

for concern such as post partum. We also must keep in mind families are often sleep

deprived and this can manifest anxiety and depression.

,What do we look for between the parents and child's interactions in an interview? -

ANSWER✔✔-we look to see who is answering the questions. We typically want the

child to answer first and the parent to fill in any gaps.


How do we interview adolescents? - ANSWER✔✔-We interview them alone to ask

about sensitive topics like sexuality, drugs, and alcohol. We want to allow these patients

privacy and we must treat them like an adult in order for them to feel comfortable and

relaxed. We may ask them about school activities and hobbies to warm up the

conversation.


How do we communicate with school age children? - ANSWER✔✔-We address them

so they feel like they are the most important thing in the room. We collect most of the

data from the parents but we do not ignore the child. We want the child to answer if

they have the cognitive ability, and the parent to fill in any blanks.


How do we use therapeutic communication for adults? - ANSWER✔✔-we create a

relaxing environment by closing a door so there is less noise, we turn up the

temperature a bit, we also avoid rushing so they are able to tell their story and feel that

they have been heard. We need to prioritize questions so we do not tire and stress the

patient out.


How do we communicate with someone who has a hearing impairment? -

ANSWER✔✔-We ensure their hearing aid is on and they can hear us, we can

therapeutically touch the patient and use visual signs before interacting with them. We

, need them to hear everything so we need to ensure the environment is quiet. We ask

open ended questions so we know they are listening. If a patient is deaf, we should sit

close to the patient and let them read our lips, we must speak slower.


How do we communicate with a patient who has cognitive impairment? -

ANSWER✔✔-we allow the patient sufficient time to answer and help them find the

right words to describe their symptoms. We do not want to put words in their mouth

however. It is easy to confuse cognitive impairment with anxiety or agitation. We must

monitor these patients for basic needs such as water, food, and ensure their pain is

properly managed.


How do we use therapeutic communication with patients who have anxiety? -

ANSWER✔✔-We must first acknowledge that healthcare issues cause plenty of anxiety.

Characteristic signs are foot tapping, nail biting, and sweating. The voice they use might

seem defensive and they speak fast with a voice that quivers. A patient who has anxiety

will decrease the patients perception and it will become more difficult to understand

their communication. We must use active listening and honesty as well as use a calm

tone to assure the patient there is no hurry. We can show the patient breathing

techniques.


How do we use therapeutic communication with a patient who is crying? -

ANSWER✔✔-We address the situation instead of ignoring the patient and moving onto

another topic. We can say "You look sad when talking about your prognosis, can I offer

a tissue and address why you are upset?" We must show empathy, not sympathy and
