4. The provider is preparing to take a health history for a new patient. He takes the patient to a
private room and asks the patient to don a hospital gown. After stepping outside to give the patient
sufficient time to change, he then comes back in and asks permission to conduct the history. He
sits next to the patient at eye level, discreetly observes the patient for any sensory deficits, and asks
the patient if he may take brief notes of the conversation. During the conversation, he gives the
patient time to answer questions fully. He makes sure that his questions do not contain technical
terms and quietly observes the patient’s nonverbal behaviors throughout. Which mistake did the
provider make?
