Answer to Question 1

A
Direct or closed questions are best to gather specific information and speed up the interview. Open-ended questions are best suited to let the patient fully explain his or her situation and possibly help the respiratory therapist show empathy.

Answer to Question 2

D
An open-ended question should be used to start the interview, introduce a new section of questions, and gather more information from a patient's topic. Closed or direct questions are used to gather specific information.
