,Chapter 01: The Patient Interview
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The respiratory care practitioner is conducting a patient interview. The main purpose of
thisinterview is to:
a. review data with the patient.
b. gather subjective data from the patient.
c. gather objective data from the patient.
d. fill out the history form or checklist.
ANS: B
The interview is a meeting between the respiratory care practitioner and the
patient. It allows thecollection of subjective data about the patient’s feelings regarding
his/her condition. The history should be done before the interview. Although data can be
reviewed,that is not the primary purpose of the interview.

a. provide leading questions to guide the patient.
b. reassure the patient.
c. be an active listener.
d. use medical terminology to show knowledge of the subject matter.
ANS: C
The personal qualities that a respiratory therapist must have to conduct a successful
interview include being an active listener, having a genuine concern for the patient, and having
empathy. Leading questions must be avoided. Reassurance may provide a false sense of comfort
to the patient. Medicaljargon can sound exclusionary and paternalistic to a patient.

1. Age
2. Chief complaint
3. Present health
4. Family history
5. Health insurance provider
a. 1, 4

ANS: C
External factors, such as a good physical setting, enhance the interviewing process.
Regardless of the interview setting (the patient’s bedside, a crowded emergency room, an
office in the hospital or clinic,or the patient’s home), efforts should be made to (1) ensure
privacy, (2) prevent interruptions, and (3)secure a comfortable physical environment (e.g.,
comfortable room temperature, sufficient lighting, absence of noise). An interviewer of either
gender, who acts professionally, should be able to interview a patient of either gender.
5. The respiratory therapist is conducting a patient interview. The therapist chooses to
useopen-ended questions. Open-ended questions allow the therapist to do which of
the following?
1. Gather information when a patient introduces a new topic.
2. Introduce a new subject area.
3. Begin the interview process.
4. Gather specific information.
a. 4
b. 1, 3
c. 1, 2, 3
d. 2, 3, 4
ANS: C

used to gather specific information.

a. 1, 4
b. 2, 3
c. 3, 4
d. 1, 2, 3
ANS: A
Direct or closed questions are best to gather specific information and speed up the
interview. Open- ended questions are best suited to let the patient fully explain his/her
situation and possibly help therespiratory therapist show empathy.
7. During the interview the patient states, “Every time I climb the stairs I have to stop to catch
my breath.” Hearing this, the respiratory therapist replies, “So, it sounds like you get short
