Question

The nurse is taking a health history from a family of a 3-year-old child. Which statement by the nurse would most likely establish rapport and elicit an accurate response from the family?
1. "Does any member of your family have a history of asthma, heart disease, or diabetes?"
2. "Hello, I would like to talk with you and get some information on you and your child."
3. "Tell me about the concerns that brought you to the clinic today."
4. "You will need to fill out these forms; make sure that the information is as complete as possible."

Answer 1

"Tell me about the concerns that brought you to the clinic today."

Explanation:

Requesting parents to talk regarding their concerns is just an open-ended question which will determine a relationship and start giving the nurse a comprehension of the attitudes of the parents.

Whether patients feel that their nurses are listening, they show better healthcare results and a happier attitude.

They realize that listening is so important to who they are human beings, and we can't necessarily communicate it when someone is listening.
