Practice Question

A nurse is conducting an interview with a client. Which example best demonstrates use of open-ended questions in an interview?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

"How are you feeling?"

Rationale:

➤ Use of an open-ended question like “How are you feeling?” invites the client to share detailed experiences rather than limiting responses to yes/no answers.

➤ This approach fosters therapeutic communication by allowing clients to express thoughts, emotions, and concerns in their own words.

➤ Encouraging a narrative response provides richer assessment data, helping the nurse understand the client’s perception of health and well-being.

➤ Open-ended inquiries promote rapport building and demonstrate genuine interest, creating a safe environment for the client to elaborate.
