Which verbal skill is used with this statement?
,A. Reflection
B. Facilitation
C. Direct question
D. Open-ended question - VERIFIED ANS-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. - VERIFIED ANS-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?"

forced to ANS in a way corresponding to their implied values or is made to feel guilty when admitting the
other ANS.
, 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:

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.
5. The nurse is interviewing a patient who has a hearing impairment. What techniques would be most
beneficial in communicating with this patient?
A. Determine the communication method he prefers.
B. Avoid using facial and hand gestures because most hearing-impaired people find this degrading.
