Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This question offers the person a final opportunity for self-expression. No new topic should be introduced. The other questions are not appropriate. Asking the person "Did we forget anything?" is a direct question eliciting a yes or no response and does not provide an opportunity for self-expression or additional information. Stating that you need to go to another patient and will be back or that you want to talk about the person's upcoming surgery while you're there is not appropriate as you are not allowing the patient to express anything further and are introducing a new topic.
