NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT:The Appropriate Communication Techniques.

Do you sit in a car seat when you are riding in the car? This would ensure she is actually riding in a safety seat and allow me to explain the proper seat she should be riding in.

Do you hurt anywhere such as your head, ear, stomach, or throat? This would ensure the physical exam was complete and Cindy did not have any concerns that were not addressed. I would make this question very simple for Cindy to ask.

Summary Interview and Communication Techniques

In order to succeed in our career  as health care providers, we must  be able to develop the right plan of care for our patients, it is crucial  to develop a sense of trust with the patients, and this trust can only be achieved by using the appropriate communication techniques.  First, I would start the interview by introducing myself and acknowledging the patient and the grandmother. After, I would like to meet with the grandmother alone in order to ask about the  teenagers parents and ask regarding any issues she would like to discuss with me without the presence of the grandkid, in many occasions grandparents like to speak to the health care providers in private without the presence of the minor. In this case the grandmother might be needing help from social work services regarding their housing situation. Assuming the grandmother takes great care of the patient and offers him all the necessary support, living in a high density public housing complex can be challenging for a 14 year old male, besides that,  not having both of his parents actively participating in the teenager life can  sometimes bring physical, social and emotional consequences.  Then I would like to ask questions regarding the patient’s family history and the medical history of both parents if known.  Health risk assessment is the core of health promotion and disease prevention regardless the patient’s age, in order to conduct a risk assessment is important to always assess for family history (Wu & Orlando, 2015).
