Abstract
In this summary paper, there will be a set of two strengths-based questions identified that will help to obtain information that is needed to assist a female client that is reluctant to open up regarding personal information. The information is needed for documents for reduced child care for her family. Also included will be two sets of strength based questions that will help to achieve the goal of focusing on the interview and pertinent issues with the client. For each set of questions provided, there will be a strategy in mind that explains how the goals will be implemented.

Obtaining Information and Strategy It is important for the interviewer to make the client or applicant feel as comfortable as possible. This is done by engagement. (MacArthur, J., Rawana, E. P., & Brownlee, K. 2011). The interview could start out by extending a hand to the client and welcoming them to the office. You would want to have eye contact and a warm smile as you are shaking hands with the client. It would also be important to let the client know that you have helped others fill out the same paperwork and that you are happy to be helping her as well. …show more content…

In order to determine if you meet the criteria for reduced child care, I need to ask you a couple of questions about your income.” The other question the interviewee may ask to determine eligibility might be; “we want to get you the best possible sliding scale rate and to do this we need to know if you have other dependents at home.” The strategy is to make the client feel comfortable and this could be accomplished with this type of engagement. The other strategy is to ask closed-ended questions in order to get the information needed and this has hopefully been achieved by using this approach. (McClam, T., & Woodside, M.

    Having an open relationship can facilitate sharing of important information necessary for identifying and solving problems that are interfering with the quality of life of the client. Building a rapport is also important because it begins with the first contact. When I show courteous and respect attitude towards client, it helps ease the client and calms them down because when clients come in, they are already anxious and have doubts whether anyone can help or not. The approach that is used to help the client specify, elaborate, and clarify the concerns that brought the client to the agency is just being warm, being courteous and just simply asking questions in order to be clear and concise with what the client needs. The client is actively involved in the process of identifying and defining their problems, concerns, and strengths all the way, because I help them find the resources. Sometimes, the agency that I refer them to need the client to contact them and it is the client that they want to talk to and the client has to call them and do what they request. This is good because it allows the client to have self-determination and allows them to be involved in solving their

Through research we now understand the importance and effectiveness of applying verbal and non-verbal communication techniques correctly. When eye contact, body posture and empathy are expressed correctly, positive outcomes are evident, strengthening the client-nurse relationship. Next time, it would be beneficial to partake in an interview with a member of the cohort that you haven’t previously worked, as in a clinical setting you are not likely to know the person. Also it would be beneficial to record the role play, so the interviewer can watch themselves and possibly notice other strengths/limitations that they might do subconsciously, eg.

My professors have advised me to work on my empathy. As I stated before, I have struggled with expressing this empathy toward others. I have also been warned on my use of close-ended questions. My professors have advised me to write down or go over my interview and spot them if they are there. They have also advised me to practice asking open-ended questions aloud. I have noticed an improvement in both areas due to their feedback. I have also been given advice on whether or not to comment on my own personal life. At times your experience can become questioned and I thought the only way to move forward would be to explain how your experience makes you qualified. However, my teachers all gave great examples and tips to move the conversation back to the client without personal disclosure. Any and all feedback is welcome as it can be used only to make you stronger and an overall better social
