During a patient interview, which type of question is most likely to encourage the patient to provide a detailed, narrative response that yields specific information about their symptoms, feelings, and concerns?
Open-ended questions invite the patient to respond in their own words and at length, promoting a fuller description of symptoms and concerns. Closed/direct, leading, and rhetorical questions restrict the response to brief or biased statements, so they do not capture as much detail.
