MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Which question would be considered a ―leading question?‖
a. ―Please describe any associated symptoms with your headaches?‖
b. ―You don't get headaches often, do you?‖
c. ―What activities affect the severity of your headaches?‖
d. ―What times of the day are your headaches the most severe?‖
e. ―What worries you most about your headache?‖

patient more discretion about the extent of an answer.

b. Have a friend of the patient translate.
c. Ask simple leading questions that the patient may understand.
d. Use a neighbor as translator.
e. Involve the family with the translation.

less biased.

c. providing time for reflection.
d. increasing the length of the visit.
e. promoting a calm environment.

courage, and displaying compassion. It is usually a clue for you to go slower and not to push
too hard.

conversation. I've got to get back to work.‖ Your most appropriate response would be to:
a. stop using open-ended questions and become more direct.
b. ask another open-ended question and insist on an answer.
c. ask questions about his anger and move closer to him.
d. acknowledge his anger and proceed with the history and examination.

judgmental.

c. ―Have you been treated for anxiety before?‖
d. ―Does your father have heart disease?‖

c. ―You can't mean what you're saying.‖
d. ―If you think about it, nothing is worth getting this upset about.‖

assurance.
