Question

Providers should use open-ended questions/comments to begin the health history assessment.The use of open-ended questions/comments prompts patients to describe a situation in more than one or two words.This technique leads to a discussion in which patients actively describe their health status.Once patients tell their story,focus on the symptoms that the patient identifies and ask closed-ended questions that limit his or her answers to one or two words such as "yes" or "no" or a number or frequency of a symptom.The questions that start with "Do" and "Did" are closed-ended."Let us help you" will not get the patient's perspective.
