Both the content and process of the interview should be documented. Providing only the patient's verbal responses creates a skewed picture of the patient. Writing that the patient is uncooperative is subjectively worded. An objective description of patient behavior is preferable. Analysis of the reasons for the patient's behavior is speculation, which is inappropriate.
