ANS: C z z


External factors, such as a good physical setting, enhance the interviewing process. Regardless of
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


the interview setting (the patient’s bedside, a crowded emergency room, an office in the hospital
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


or clinic, or the patient’s home), efforts should be made to (1) ensure privacy, (2) prevent
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


interruptions, and (3) secure a comfortable physical environment (e.g., comfortable room
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


temperature, sufficient lighting, absence of noise). An interviewer of either gender, who acts
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


professionally, should be able to interview a patient of either gender.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz

ANS:
C z z

zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


and gather more information from a patient’s topic. Closed or direct questions are used to
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


gather specific information.
zz zz zz

zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


1. speed up the interview. zz zz zz


2. let the patient fully explain his/her situation.
zz zz zz zz zz zz

4. gather specific information. zz zz


a. 1, 4 zz


b. 2, 3 zz


c. 3, 4 zz


d. 1, 2, 3 zz zz




ANS: A z z


Direct or closed questions are best to gather specific information and speed up the interview.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


Open- ended questions are best suited to let the patient fully explain his/her situation and
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


possibly help the respiratory therapist show empathy.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz

, 7. During the interview the patient states, ―Every time I climb the stairs I have to stop to
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


catch my breath.‖ Hearing this, the respiratory therapist replies, ―So, it sounds like
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


you get short of breath climbing stairs.‖ This interviewing technique is called:
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


a. clarification.
b. modeling.
c. empathy.
d. reflection.
ANS: D z z


With reflection, part of the patient’s statement is repeated. This lets the patient know that what
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


he/she said was heard. It also encourages the patient to elaborate on the topic.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


Clarification, modeling, and empathy are other communication techniques. zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




8. The respiratory therapist may choose to use the patient interview technique of
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


silence in which of the following situations?
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


a. To prompt the patient to ask a question zz zz zz zz zz zz zz

zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


silence) before asking the next question. This pause allows the patient to add something else
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


before moving on. The patient may also choose to ask a question.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz

responses to assist in the N R I Gshou

zz interview zz zz zz zz zz
zz zz zz
zz
zz
zz zz zz zz



a. Confrontation
b. Reflection
c. Facilitation
d. Distancing
ANS: D z z


With confrontation, the respiratory therapist focuses the patient’s attention on an action, feeling, or
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


statement made by the patient. This may prompt a further discussion. Reflection helps the
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


patient focus on specific areas and continues in his/her own way. Facilitation encourages
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


patients to say more, to continue with the story. The respiratory therapist should avoid giving
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


advice, using avoidance language, and using distancing language.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




10. When closing the interview, the respiratory therapist should do which of the following?
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


1. Recheck the patient’s vital signs. zz zz zz zz

b. 2, 3 zz


c. 1, 3, 4 zz zz


d. 1, 2, 4 ANS: B
zz zz zz z z

, To end the interview on a positive note, the respiratory therapist should thank the patient and
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


ask if the patient has any questions. If there is no need for the vital signs to be checked, they
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


should not be. The door may be left open or closed, depending on the situation.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




11. The respiratory therapist should be aware of a patient’s culture and religious beliefs
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


for which of the following reasons?
zz zz zz zz zz zz


a. To be able to engage in a meaningful conversation
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


b. To change any misguided notions the patient has that may impact his/her health
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


c. To explain to the patient how these beliefs will lead to discrimination
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


and stereotyping zz zz


d. To better understand how the patient’s beliefs may impact how the patient
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


thinks and behaves zz zz zz




ANS: D z z


Culture and religious beliefs may have a profound effect on how patients think and behave, and
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


this may impact their health or health care decisions. The role of the respiratory
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


therapist is not to change the patient’s beliefs, engage in sensitive conversations, or discuss
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


discrimination. Rather, the respiratory therapist needs to understand how these beliefs may
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


impact the patient’s health care decisions.
zz zz zz zz zz zz




12. Which of the following are the most important components of a successful interview?
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


a. Communication and understanding zz zz


b. Authority and the use of medical terminology zz zz zz zz zz zz


c. Providing assurance and giving advice zz zz zz zz


d. Asking leading questions and anticipating patient responses to questions
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




NU R SI GN B.C M
ANS: A z z zz zz



Communication and understanding are t h e b as i s f o T
r a goodOpatient interview. Authority, the use of
zz zz zz


zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


medical jargon, providing assurance, giving advice, asking leading questions, and anticipating are
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


all types of nonproductive communication forms and create barriers to patient communication.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




13. The respiratory therapist is conducting a patient interview and recording responses in
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


the patient’s electronic health record. The respiratory therapist should take which of
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


the following into account regarding the use of the computer to record responses?
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


a. The therapist’s attention may be shifted from the patient to the computer.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


b. The patient will feel more important than if the information is recorded on paper.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


c. The therapist will be less likely to make spelling errors if using a spell-
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


check program. zz


d. The environment will be more professional and the patient will be more likely
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


to open up if the interview is conducted with paper.
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz




ANS: A z z


The therapist’s use of the computer can be threatening and may, in some cases, be a potential
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


hazard to good patient communication. The patient can be intimidated to the point of ―shutting
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


down.‖ In addition, the therapist who has to shift focus from the patient to the computer can
zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz


miss important verbal and nonverbal messages.
