Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
The purpose of the focused interview is to clarify data, to gather missing information, and to validate nursing diagnoses. Collecting data from the medical record and reviewing current health concerns occurs during phase I, pre-interaction.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 4
When conducting a focused interview for an older adult client it is appropriate for the nurse to establish rapport and ensure that background noise is kept to a minimum. The nurse should provide privacy for the client during the interview process. Older adult clients often feel uncomfortable in paper robes. It is more appropriate to offer this client a cloth robe. The nurse should address the client using an appropriate title with their last name. Addressing the older adult client using the term honey is disrespectful.
