Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse interviewing a client will first introduce him- or herself. During the interview, the nurse would make eye contact appropriate to the client's culture and repeat what the client has said to ensure understanding. The nurse would ask the client to turn the TV off in order to have the client's undivided attention. Closed-ended questions are useful for collecting some information but nurses generally avoid them because they cut off communication.
