6. To prevent personal appearance from becoming an obstacle in patient care, the health care
professional should:
a. wear a uniform.
b. avoid wearing white.
c. avoid extremes in dress.

a. Use phrases that are commonly used by other patients in the area.
b. Use the patient’s own terms if possible.
c. Use the simplest language possible.
d. Use proper medical and technical terminology.
ANS: B
To ensure that your questions have been correctly understood, be clear and explicit while
using the patient’s own terms and level of understanding. Using phrases commonly used by
other patients may not help ensure that your questions have been correctly understood by this
patient. You should be clear and explicit while using the patient’s own terms and level of
understanding. Using the simplest language will not help ensure that your questions have been
correctly understood. It is important to avoid the use of medical terminology, because the
patient may not understand it.
12. Mr. Franklin is speaking with you, the health care provider, about his respiratory problem.
Mr. Franklin says, “I’ve had this cough for 3 days, and it’s getting worse.” You reply, “Tell
me more about your cough.” Mr. Franklin states, “I wish I could tell you more. That’s why
I’m here. You tell me what’s wrong!” Which caregiver response would be most appropriate
for enhancing communication?
a. “After 3 days, you’re tired of coughing. Have you had a fever?”
b. “I’d like to hear more about your experiences. Where were you born?”
c. “I don’t know what’s wrong. You could have almost any disease.”
d. “I’ll examine you and figure out later what the problem is.”
ANS: A
“After 3 days, you’re tired of coughing. Have you had a fever?” is the only response aimed at
focusing on the chief compliant to gather more data and does not digress from the issue.
