HESI PREP HEALTH ASSESSMENT PRACTICE QUESTIONS
100+ REVESION
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. - 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.


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 - ANSWER-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. -
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.


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. -
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.
