Open-ended questions
EVALUATION
As a nurse, it allows the person to
express their thoughts and feelings
without interruption. Show that
you are listening by nodding,
maintaining eye contact, and
providing verbal affirmations such
as "I understand" or "I hear what
you're saying."
As a nurse, encourage the patient
to express themselves openly and
honestly without fear of judgment.
For instance:
Nurse: "It's important for both of
you to feel comfortable expressing
your needs and concerns in this
relationship. How can we work
towards better communication?"
As a nurse, these encourage the
individual to elaborate on their
experiences and feelings, allowing
for deeper exploration. For
example:
Nurse: "Can you tell me more
about what you remember from
last night?"
As a nurse, respond with empathy
and understanding, acknowledging
the emotions the person is
experiencing. This can help to
