NUR 2092 MODULE 1 LAB STUDY GUIDE
CHAPTER 3
1.List 8 items of information that should be communicated to the client concerning the terms or expectations of the interview
1.Time and place of the interview and succeeding physical examination
2.Introduction of yourself and a brief explanation of your role.
3.The purpose of the interview.
4.How long it will take
5.Expectation of participation for each person
6.Presence of any other people (e.g., family, other health professionals, students).
7.Confidentiality and to what extent it may be limited.
8.Any costs to the client
2.Describe the points to consider in preparing the physical setting for the interview.
•Set the room temperature at a comfortable level.
•Provide enough lighting so you can see each other clearly, but avoid strong, direct lighting that may cause squinting.
•Secure a quiet environment. Turn off televisions, radios, and any unnecessary equipment.
•Remove distracting objects or equipment. It is appropriate to leave some professional equipment (otoscope/ophthalmoscope, blood pressure manometer) in view, but avoid clutter; stacks of mail, other files, or your lunch should not be seen. The room should advertise a trained professional.
•Place the distance between you and the client at 4 to 5 feet. Personal space is any space
within 4 feet of a person. Encroaching on personal space can cause anxiety, but if you position yourself farther away, you may seem aloof and distant. The personal reaction bubble depends on a variety of factors, including culture, gender, and age.
3.List the pros and cons of note-taking during the interview.
•Pros: you cannot rely completely on memory to furnish details of previous hospitalizations or the review of body systems
•Cons: It breaks eye contact too often. • It shifts your attention away from the person,
diminishing his or her sense of importance. • Trying to record everything a person says may cause you to ask him or her to slow down, or the person may slow his or her tempo to allow for you to take notes. Either way, the client's natural mode of expression is lost. • It impedes your observation of the client's nonverbal behavior. • It is threatening to the client during the discussion of sensitive issues (e.g., amount of alcohol and drug use, number of sexual partners, or incidence of physical abuse).
