Questions to Ask the Patient:
List 2 questions would you ask the patient and why?
1)You mentioned that your daughter she is rough with you at times. Can you tell me more about how your daughter treats you when she is rough with you?"
Why: Asking this question is to assess for the potential of elderly abuse. This allows for an open ended discussion of how the patient is being treated. This method helps in recognizing signs of abuse and also builds trust between the patient and caregiver, simplifying the discussion of sensitive issues (Mydin, Yuen & Othman, 2021).
2)Can you share how these recent changes at home have been affecting your overall feelings and mood?
Why: Asking this question about the recent changes on the patient's mood helps to understand the emotional and psychological effects of her current living situation. It is important to understand her
emotional state, including signs of stress, depression, or anxiety, which can affect her overall health (Mydin, Yuen & Othman, 2021).
