RNSG 1341 CH16 EXAM QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION LATEST 2026 A nurse is conducting a client-centered interview. Place the statements from the interview in the correct order. "My name is Todd. I'll be the nurse taking care of you today. I'm going to ask you a series of questions to gather your health history." "Tell me what brought you to the hospital." "You say you've lost weight. Tell me how much weight you have lost in the last month." "So, to summarize, you've lost about 6 pounds in the last month, and your appetite has been poor—correct?" "I have no further questions. Thank you for your patience." First, introduce yourself and then focus the interview on the client’s presenting situation; this is known as a problem-focused approach. Once you know the presenting situation (in this example, the patient has lost weight), ask follow-up questions to clarify and expand your assessment. Use active listening skills, such as summarizing, to confirm your understanding. When the interview is over, thank the patient. Test-Taking Tip: In this Question Type, you are asked to prioritize or put in order the options presented. When you see this type of question, don't panic! Read through each choice and see if you can identify the first and last steps on first reading. That gives you fewer steps to juggle in your mind. Then work on the order of the middle steps, switching as necessary until it seems right. The nurse is interviewing a client on admission. Which questions from the nurse are examples of closed-ended questions? Select all that apply. Do you have pain now? You have a severe headache, right? Can you tell me more about your family? Can you tell me how you get relief from pain at home? You are frightened that the diagnosis will be cancer, aren't you? Asking the client if he is having pain now, if he is having severe pain, and if he is frightened are examples of closed-ended questions. These questions may not provide the client with an opportunity to freely express his or her concerns. Asking a client about her family and how she gets relief at home are examples of open-ended questions. They allow the client to answer in as much detail as she wishes. TEST-TAKING TIP: Closed-ended questions can be answered with "yes" or "no." When performing the initial interview of a client admitted to the hospital, which characteristics of the client should the nurse document as objective data? Select all that apply. Severe throbbing headache Body temperature 104° F A raised red swelling on the back Nausea and feeling sick in the pit of the stomach Drainage from wounds on the right hand and the right foot
