Which technique used by the nurse encourages a patient to continue talking during an interview

ANS: A, C, D, E
Correct: "How long have you had this problem with your breathing?", "Does this breathing problem come and go or is it constant?", "What do you do to make your breathing better?", and "How does this breathing problem affect your work or daily activities?" are questions asked in a symptom analysis. Use the mnemonic of OLD CARTS (e.g., onset of symptoms, location and duration of symptoms, characteristics, aggravating factors, related symptoms, treatment used, and severity of symptoms).
Incorrect: "Do you have a family history of breathing problems?" This question relates to the patient's history; "How many packs of cigarettes do you smoke a day?" This question relates to the patient's history.

ANS: A, C, D, E, F
Correct: "Describe what the headache feels like?", "What makes the headaches worse?", "How do you rate the headaches on a scale of 0 (meaning no pain) to 10 (meaning the worse pain ever)?", "Do you have any symptoms with the headaches, such as nausea?", and "When did you first notice the headaches?" are questions asked in a symptom analysis. Use the mnemonic of OLD CARTS (e.g., onset of symptoms, location and duration of symptoms, characteristics, aggravating factors, related symptoms, treatment used, and severity of symptoms).
Incorrect: "When was your last eye examination?" assumes that the headaches are related to a vision problem. Last eye examination is documented in the history under the heading of Past Health History.
