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?
A) He should have allowed the patient to remain fully clothed in their own clothing for their
comfort.
B) He should not have omitted technical terminology. Patients like having a chance to learn.
