PY - 2018 T2 - Smith’s Patient-Centered Interviewing, 4e AB - The interview vignette with Ms. Jones that we have presented thus far in this textbook is just one example of how the patient-centered interaction between a clinician and a patient can unfold. If you have viewed the AccessMedicine companion videos or the DocCom modules, you know that the patient-centered interview can be adapted to different clinical settings and all patient encounters. In this chapter, we will provide you with more instruction and details on working with patients and situations that differ from the routine medical visit and present challenges. We will discuss how you can adjust the interview to different clinical situations. Perhaps you worry about interviewing a patient who cannot seem to stop talking, or one who it feels hard to pull information from. The skills required in these situations are used primarily in the beginning of the interview (Steps 1–5). This chapter focuses only on how you can tailor the process of the interview in various medical encounters with a variety of patients and does not consider the content that needs to be addressed in specific clinical situations. Clinical textbooks will help you obtain the details that must be incorporated into many of the encounters discussed here.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/19 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1154806164 ER -
