Explanation
Answer: D - Open-ended questions such as, “tell me about your abdominal pain,” are ones that are designed to allow the patient to answer in a full and meaningful way utilizing their own feelings. While interviewing a patient with open-ended questions can sometimes take a longer amount of time, they are beneficial in getting substantial amounts of information on the patient’s illness or injury.
