Question

1. "Does any member of your familyhave a history of asthma,heart disease,or diabetes?"
2. "Hello,I would like to talk with youand get some information on you and your child."
3. "Tell me about the concerns thatbrought you to the clinic today."
4. "You will need to fill out these forms;make sure that the information is as complete as possible."

Answer 1

Answer:3
Rationale: Asking the parents to talk about their concerns is an open-ended question and one which is more likely to establish rapport and an understanding of the parent's perceptions.Giving the family a list of items to answer at once may be confusing to the parents.Giving an introduction before asking the parents for information is likely to establish rapport,but giving an explanation of why the information would be needed would be even more effective at establishing rapport and also for getting more accurate,pertinent information. Simply asking the parents to fill out forms is very impersonal,and more information is likely to be obtained and clarified if the nurse is directing the interview.
