and feelings; used to clarify data collected-simply rephrase the information "you were
saying that your pain is a sharp, stabbing pain that is worse in the evening?"

Clarification✅validating what you heard, comprehending meaning of terms "what do
you mean by "falling out"?"

Empathetic responses✅establishes rapport with patient; be sure to identify feelings of
patient; non-verbal (offering tissue to a crying patient) and therapeutic use of self ("ive
had surgery before, so i can relate to what you're going through")

Confrontation✅identifying and stating observations that seem to be at odds with
statements, behavior, etc. "you say you dont care, but yet you are crying" be careful
with use-not usually effective method of communication with adolescents

assessment?"

expression for situation (smile, concern, understanding)

Attitude✅appear neutral, and non judgemental; accepting/understanding of situation

Silence✅allows clients and interviewer time to collect thoughts, take notes, and reflect
to ensure accurate data collection

Listening✅active listening is concentrating on client's response and subtitles;
techniques: good eye contact, smile/appropriate facial expressions, openness: body
position and mind, sit down

Avoid✅closed body posture, excessive or insufficient eye contact, distraction or
distance, standing

Direct question✅proceed from general to specific "tell me about your pain. Where did
you feel it? Show me. Anywhere else?"

-do not ask leading questions; only use open-ended questions requiring a description-
not yes or no answers
-ask questions requiring a graded response "what activities do you do that causes you
to have pain in your legs"
-ask multiple choice questions "is your pain sharp, dull, aching, burning, squeezing?"
-ask one question at a time, dont confuse patient
-use language that is understandable and appropriate

Open-ended questions✅used to elicit feelings or perceptions
-ask "how" or "what" questions

Close-ended questions✅used to focus on specific information, precise data

unexpected answers. Ask simple specific choices for answers
