Ball: Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination, 9th Edition
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?”
ANS: B
This question would limit the information in the patient's answer. The other choices allow the
patient more discretion about the extent of an answer.

2. Which action would best promote accurate translations as well as confidentiality when the
caregiver does not speak the patient's language?
a. Ask a person unfamiliar with the patient to translate.
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.
ANS: A NURSINGTB.COM
When you do not speak the patient's language, family members or friends may pose a
communication barrier and may have issues of confidentiality; a stranger as an interpreter is
less biased.

3. Periods of silence during the interview can serve important purposes, such as:
a. allowing the clinician to catch up on documentation.
b. giving you a clue that you should speed up the interview.
c. providing time for reflection.
d. increasing the length of the visit.
e. promoting a calm environment.
ANS: C
Silence is a useful tool during interviews for the purposes of reflection, summoning of
courage, and displaying compassion. It is usually a clue for you to go slower and not to push
too hard.

4. Which technique is most likely to result in the patient's understanding of questions?

5. A patient becomes restless during the history and says, “I don't have time for all of this
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.
e. ignore his displeasure and become more assertive about getting answers.
ANS: D
This is the only answer that resists the tendency for patient manipulation, pursues the
information, and confronts the patient's anger.

drinker.” Which initial response is appropriate?

d. “If you only drink socially, you won't need to worry about always having a

judgmental.

7. A 50-year-old man comes to the primary care clinic. He tells you he is worried because he has
had severe chest pains for the past 2 weeks. Which initial history interview question is most
appropriate?
a. “Can you describe the pain?”
b. “The pain doesn't radiate to your arm, does it?”
c. “Have you been treated for anxiety before?”
d. “Does your father have heart disease?”
e. “Are the pains worse after you eat?”
ANS: A
Initially, an open-ended question is a more appropriate response. “Can you describe the pain?”
is an open-ended question that offers clues to the chief concern.
