Brief Description of the Interaction:
The client that I will be interviewing for this Nurse-Patient Interaction (NPI) is a 76-year-old male individual. He verbalized his
biographic data and I took the information down for documentation. Before anything else, I first introduced myself to the client to
make him feel comfortable the proceeded to take down his biographic data. I also asked permission to ask him some questions
regarding himself and most especially his health. He agreed to do so. After exchanges of question and answers, we were able to
document that the client is experiencing head ache and dry cough. I also asked the duration of the symptoms he was experiencing that
he answered with confidence. The client also verbalized that he did in fact seek a Doctor to ask about his health that of which provided
him with instructions to follow. He confirmed that he took medications instructed by the Doctor that alleviated some symptoms. I then
proceeded to take his Temperature and blood pressure which were both normal (120/80 for blood pressure and 36.4 C for temperature)
and documented it. After acknowledging that his vital signs were normal, I now slowly terminated the interaction by thanking the
client for lending his time to be interviewed and he was also very thankful to have the talk with me. We ended the interaction with
both sides agreeing.
