Describe the interview (including impressions, general reactions, and feelings about your first visit.)
The interview went well, my first impression of her was she is very sweet and kind. She did seem to have a little trouble understanding some questions that were asked. Therefore, I had to switch my way of communicating those questions for her.

3. Identify and describe the therapeutic communication skills you utilized during your visits. (Remember to use a reference, a reference citation is required). …show more content…

I used open-ended questions, closed ended questions, I encouraged storytelling, and I positioned myself at an equal level with the resident as she sat in a chair.

This helped the resident become more comfortable with me, and open up more about her life history. She then was able to reminisce from the questions I had asked her about her past. I could tell by her expression that the storytelling and reminiscing was making her happy. I then incorporated more closed and open-ended questions about her daily routine and hobbies.
