Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Keeping questions simple and asking the question in a clear voice help patients process answers. Finishing their sentences and allowing extensive rambling are not helpful for useful interviewing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Persons with an Asian background consider direct questions inappropriate and they are more comfortable with indirect questioning in a social context. Rather than saying, How many bowel movements do you have a day? it would be better to ask, How would you describe your digestion?
