DaVita Dietitian Reference Manual Module 9-Counseling Skills REVIEW QUESTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. 9 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. True False It is not appropriate to sit down when counseling patients. It is appropriate to use small, less technical terms when educating patients. The environment or surroundings play a role in effective patient counseling. Renal diet education can be completed in one thirty-minute session. If a patient cannot communicate, it is acceptable to eliminate the diet instruction. It is not possible for a hemodialysis patient to follow a vegetarian diet. Using audiotapes or large print materials might be beneficial in educating patients with visual impairments. Frequently missed or shortened treatments are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is acceptable to label a patient 'noncompliant' in the medical record. Social and financial concerns have little effect on the patient's ability to adhere to the treatment regimen.

Question 1: Between the 1850’s and 1930’s, physicians gained authority and status.  What is one condition or event that led to this? Starr mentions many conditions or events that led to physicians gaining authority and status, just post one  (Consult the Starr textbook, Chapter 3).   Question 2: Due to the litigious nature of medicine, physicians often order more tests (lab, X-ray, CT, MRI, EKG, etc.) than the standards of care suggest. This is sometimes referred to as “defensive medicine.” Additionally, a significant amount of a physician’s income is used to pay malpractice/liability insurance. If health care reform initiatives considered capping or limiting the physician’s liability to keep health care costs down, how could it be done?
