When gathering a patient's health history, which type of question is most likely to encourage a comprehensive, narrative response?
Closed-ended questions
Leading questions
Directive questions
Open-ended questions
Open-ended questions, such as 'Can you tell me more about your symptoms?', encourage patients to share detailed information and tell their story in their own words. This is crucial for obtaining a complete health history. In contrast, closed-ended (or directive) questions, like 'Do you have pain?', limit the response to a simple 'yes' or 'no' and are used to gather specific facts rather than narrative details. Leading questions are generally avoided as they can bias the patient's answers.
