Interviewing

  • Chapter
Management in Health Care

Abstract

The interview is the primary procedure used in data collection—this can be for varied purposes such as gathering information on a client for the nursing care plan or gathering information from potential and hired employees. On a smaller scale, a manager can interview an employee informally regarding a situational event.

“Much of this chapter is an adaptation, replication, and expansion of the chapter on interviewing written by this author in the following source: La Monica, E. (1985). The humanistic nursing process. Boston: Jones and Bartlett.
