collection of subjective data about the patient’s feelings regarding his/her
v v v v v v v v v v
condition. The history should be done before the interview. Although data can be reviewed,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
that is not the primary purpose of the interview.

v v v
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
being an active listener, having a genuine concern for the patient, and having empathy. Leading
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
questions must be avoided. Reassurance may provide a false sense of comfort to the patient. Medical

interview setting (the patient’s bedside, a crowded emergency room, an office in the hospital or clinic,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
or the patient’s home), efforts should be made to (1) ensure privacy, (2) prevent interruptions, and (3)
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
secure a comfortable physical environment (e.g., comfortable room temperature, sufficient lighting,
v v v v v v v v v v v
absence of noise). An interviewer of either gender, who acts professionally, should be able to
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
interview a patient of either gender.

An open-ended question should be used to start the interview, introduce a new section of questions,
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
and gather more information from a patient’s topic. Closed or direct questions are used to gather
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
specific information.
v v

v v v v v v v
1. speed up the interview. v v v

of breath climbing stairs.‖ This interviewing technique is called:
v v v v v v v v v
a. clarification.
b. modeling.
c. empathy.

ANS: D v
With reflection, part of the patient’s statement is repeated. This lets the patient know that what
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
he/she said was heard. It also encourages the patient to elaborate on the topic.
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
Clarification, modeling, and empathy are other communication techniques. v v v v v v v
8. The respiratory therapist may choose to use the patient interview technique of silence
v v v v v v v v v v v v
in which of the following situations?
v v v v v v
a. To prompt the patient to ask a question v v v v v v v
b. After a direct question v v v
c. After an open-ended question v v v
d. To allow the patient to review his/her historyv v v v v v v
ANS: C v

v v v v v v v v v v v v v
silence) before asking the next question. This pause allows the patient to add something else before
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
moving on. The patient may also choose to ask a question.

d. Distancing
ANS: D v
With confrontation, the respiratory therapist focuses the patient’s attention on an action, feeling, or
v v v v v v v v v v v v v
statement made by the patient. This may prompt a further discussion. Reflection helps the patient
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
focus on specific areas and continues in his/her own way. Facilitation encourages patients to say
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
more, to continue with the story. The respiratory therapist should avoid giving advice, using
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
avoidance language, and using distancing language.
