A nurse is taking complete health histories on all of the patients attending a wellness workshop. On the history form, one of the written questions asks, You don't smoke, drink, or take drugs, do you? This question is an example of:
 
  a. Talking too much.
  b. Using confrontation.
  c. Using biased or leading questions.
  d. Using blunt language to deal with distasteful topics.

Question 2

As the nurse enters a patient's room, the nurse finds her crying. The patient states that she has just found out that the lump in her breast is cancer and says, I'm so afraid of, um, you know.
 
  The nurse's most therapeutic response would be to say in a gentle manner:
  a.
  You're afraid you might lose your breast?
  b.
  No, I'm not sure what you are talking about.
  c.
  I'll wait here until you get yourself under control, and then we can talk.
  d.
  I can see that you are very upset. Perhaps we should discuss this later.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
This question is an example of using leading or biased questions. Asking, You don't smoke, do you? implies that one answer is better than another. If the person wants to please someone, then he or she is either forced to answer in a way that corresponds to his or her implied values or is made to feel guilty when admitting the other answer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Reflection echoes the patient's words, repeating part of what the person has just said. Reflection can also help express the feelings behind a person's words.
