The experienced nurse assessing a battered woman patient uses many open-ended ques-tions during the interview. The rationale for this is that:
 
  a. The woman will feel more in charge of the interview.
  b. Patients can't refuse to answer when sensitive information is being probed.
  c. The questions are direct and easily understood by the anxious individuals.
  d. Such questions allow for simple yes or no answers when the patient is upset.

ANS: A
Open-ended questions reflecting what the woman is disclosing give the patient the sense of being in control of the interview, and she is likely to reveal more than when direct questions are used exclusively. Open-ended questions are not easily answered yes or no. Open-ended questions are indirect. Patients can refuse to answer any question, so this is not an acceptable rationale.
