  2. Which closing statement best ends a consultation appropriately?

  4. When taking a history, which question type best opens the consultation?

    Answer: Can you tell me what's brought you in today?

    An open question invites the patient to describe the problem in their own words.

  5. A patient discloses they have not been taking their medication. The best response is to:
