Patient Interview Questions

The Licensed Practical Nurse said that the education that she obtained prepared her for the various facets of her job. It was more helpful in some aspects of my job than it is in others jobs.

Dr. Acosta’s presentation presented the Kleinman’s questions as a tool nurses and physicians can utilize to improve their cultural sensitivity. These open-ended questions attempt to address the patients’ explanatory model of illness. This model provides health care professionals with culturally sensitive information vital to designing a care plan tailored to patients’ unique beliefs and traditions. This model is a new interviewing tool I can utilize in my practice to further my understanding of my patients cultural beliefs related to their health condition.

Misty Urban has been a friend of my parents for a very long time, so when I found out I needed to interview a healthcare professional I knew exactly who to go to. Misty is currently employed at ViaQuest Home Health and Hospice. Getting to where she is now was not easy, in fact she said “While I took pre-requisites for nursing, which took seven LONG years, because I took one class at a time until I had to go full-time for my RN.” While taking her pre-requisite courses she was also working at the Somerset Dialysis Center and worked there for almost 9 years. Before that Misty held jobs at Somerset Ambulance for 11 years, and also at the Somerset Hospital Emergency Department as a Registrar/technician.

The topic for the proposal letter will be about ways to improve the quality of healthcare in nursing home facilities by making changes in laws and policies.

She has several years as a Registered Nurse in addition to many more years as a certified nursing assistant in both a long term care facility as well as home health care. The advantage of her perspective is having the firsthand knowledge of what really happens with care at the personal level. Many times, Doctors do not connect on a personal level with their patients to understand their needs and complaints. Thus, interviewing someone who forges a bond

Young children that enter the hospital can be overwhelmed due to the health concerns that they have no control over most of the time. The patients parents and the young child have to undergo a meticulous process while at the hospital. At the beginning of this process the young patient is given a trinket or something that brings them comfort which is provided by the hospital. This will enable the young patient to have a more comforting experience and allow the patient to have more hope while at the hospital.
