interviewing someone in their home
general to specific; save sensitive topics such as religion, sexual partners or similar topics topics until at least the middle of the interview; fill out assessment tool in car so patient more comfortable; ask family what they think of their current situation, and they would identify as their most pressing problems. *write little, listen more. know what information you need before you go in, write down what you will most likely forget and when done w/the visit fill in the blanks
49
contacting with families
working agreement that is continuously non negotiable and may or may not be written. goals can change over time and be used as building blocks
50
