Study Notes

Types of Interviews

Directive interview: nurse controls the interview, client responds to questions, and may have limited opportunity to ask questions or discuss concerns.
Non-directive interview: nurse allows the client to control the purpose, subject matter, and pacing, and focuses on building rapport.

Types of Interview Questions

Closed questions: used in directive interviews, restrictive, and require short factual answers, often beginning with "when", "where", "who", "what", "do", or "is".
Open-ended questions: used in non-directive interviews, invite clients to explore, elaborate, or clarify their thoughts or feelings, and may begin with "what" or "how".
Neutral questions: open-ended, used in non-directive interviews, and allow clients to answer without direction or pressure.
Leading questions: usually closed, used in directive interviews, and direct the client's answer, potentially leading to inaccurate responses.

Planning the Interview and Setting

Time: plan interviews when the client is physically comfortable, free of pain, and minimally interrupted.
Place: choose a well-lighted, well-ventilated room with minimal distractions, and ensure privacy.
Seating arrangement: sit at a 45-degree angle to the client's bed, and avoid standing or looking down at the client.

Communication During an Interview

Listen attentively, using all senses, and speak slowly and clearly.
Use language the client understands, and clarify points that are not understood.
Plan questions to follow a logical sequence, and ask only one question at a time.
Acknowledge the client's perspective, and avoid imposing personal values.
Nonverbally convey respect, concern, interest, and acceptance.
Be aware of body language and voice inflection, tone, and affect.
Use and accept silence to help the client gather thoughts.

The Closing

Terminate the interview when necessary information is obtained.
Use techniques to close the interview, such as summarizing the client's concerns and plans for future discussions.

Organizing Data

Use a written or electronic format to organize assessment data systematically.
Modify the format according to the client's physical status, such as using a musculoskeletal-focused format for orthopedic clients.

Conceptual Models/Frameworks

Examples include Gordon's functional health pattern framework, Orem's self-care model, and Roy's adaptation model.
