The providers ask question of patients for therapeutic use so they can be able to communicate with one another. This is a way that health care provider gather vital information that is useful in the assessment of the patients. It also allows the provider understand any issues that the patient maybe having. There are different questions format a provider can choose to use to gather information from their patients. There are closed-ended question, open-ended question format, and multiple-choice question format. According to the book, “Closed-ended questions have the effect of restricting the patient’s range of response.” This format doesn’t allow the patient to really express their feeling, pain, or concerns. The book mentioned, that closed-ended
The main claim to this paper, is to prove, to have effective communication with patients and their
Note: Patients will tell you what you want to hear, so be careful how you ask your questions.
Secondly, open-ended question should be adopted as the major type of interview questions because it allows maximum freedom for the client to respond in his or her own way (Balzer, Julia, 2004).
Since I took the time to sit down with a patient, I was able to effectively use the therapeutic technique encouraging or offering general leads. As I was taking the patients health history, my patient would answer yes or no to some questions such as “have you had any surgeries before?” My patient said yes and gave no further explanation. I used the encouraging therapeutic technique by replying “tell me more” to let the patient know I was interested in his life and what he had to say. An alternative statement I could have used as well would have been “go
This questionnaire will utilize close-ended questions for several reasons. The close-ended questions enable pre-set answers which allows for greater ease of coding and analyzation of answers while simultaneously taking away any opportunity for unnecessary or undesired answers to questions. It also adds to higher incidences of participation in the study because the respondent will not have to take vast amounts of time to respond to short-answer questions which can be daunting for those who have difficulty reading or writing which is important in regards to seniors who may have difficulty reading due to poor eyesight or may have problems holding a pen or pencil due to arthritis.
Continuous and life-long learning- Unlike other professions in healthcare field one has to keep in pace with the updates going on, know the new technology,
The debate over whether or not universal health care is an achievable reality in the United States has been a longstanding one. Most of us have heard people from both sides of the political spectrum duke out the logistics of the Affordable Care Act, but what’s really the deal? Despite us being the only major country on earth that doesn’t guarantee health care, there are still a lot of conservatives and insurance companies who argue that universal care is an unnecessary burden on taxpayers. Why exactly are Republicans in such vehement opposition? Let’s find out:

Evidence Based Practice is crucial to support care provided to patient. It is imperative to get evidence base on proven clinical practice that provides valuable insights about human health and illness as per Polit and Beck (2017). The researcher must pick a topic to be research on and A PICOT question formulated. These questions help as a guidance on the research. The researcher then check to see what can be retrieve that are of importances to topic. In most case narrowing of the questions may help. The levels of evidence are important because it help with identifying hierarchy of evidence. The higher the Hierarchy of evidence the better evidence base information.
Patients seek medical attention for preventative measures, as well as, diagnostic measures. Patients must have a trusting rapport with their collaborative medical team, as the nurses and the doctors are the people who they trust their lives with. Patients do not always present to hospitals, urgent cares, walk-in clinics, or even doctor’s offices only when they are sick; patients visit to ensure their good health will continue, treatment regimens are of benefit, changes that may be needed in regimen. When someone thinks of a patient they may think of some of these characteristics: illness, disease, hospital, medications, health, and prevention.
There are many techniques to asking a question. Open ended questions where we are wanting many details from the person or closed ended questions where we simply just need a yes or a no answer. Funnel questions are where we need to weed out and focus on finding the exact information we are looking for. We need to Probe the person and really think about what we are asking for in hopes of getting a specific answer. There are also rhetorical questions where we don’t really need an answer at all. When asking a personal question it is extremely important to be considerate and use the proper method of questioning to get the best result. When we know the person is sharing something of a personal nature we want to ask an open question where they feel safe and encouraged to share what they feel comfortable sharing.
Using this example, we clearly see that the nurse asks the patient a direct and clear question so as to get information and in turn she gets a response. It is suggested that this is a good example of questioning and probing and it is recommended to be used again in future. To provide the most effective care possible, nurses must begin with clear and appropriate verbal skills such as being honest, being concise and keeping emotions out of the conversation (Apler, 2006).
The health care industry exist to provide preventative measures, diagnose health conditions, repair, and provide services to improve the quality of life. The cost of health care continues to rise each year. Health care fraud is a factor that continues to plague the health care industry. The affect health care fraud has on hospitals, is the increasing cost of medical services. The following research will examine and evaluate how organizational structure and governance, culture and the lack of focus on social responsibility affects on health care fraud. The following research will also include recommendations for prevention of health care fraud, recommendations for
There are a number of key elements that help to provide a framework that enhances truthful communication. Firstly, there is the need to develop open and honest communication from the very beginning of the patient-health professional relationship. Secondly, the health professional needs to use patient penchant as a “weigh” by asking them what they wish to know, how much they wish to know, and determining what they already know. In other words, it is a responsibility of the health professional to get a ‘feel’ for the situation, including the patients’ perception of the situation (Ashcroft, Dawson & Drape 2007).
The strength of questionnaires is it can give an insight into respondent’s thoughts and opinions and also cost efficient as it is inexpensive.
