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.

- Elimination
