Which is an example of an OPEN-ENDED question?

  1. 'Are you allergic to penicillin?'
  2. 'What makes you feel anxious about dental visits?'
  3. 'Is the pain sharp or dull?'
  4. 'Do you have pain?'
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. 'What makes you feel anxious about dental visits?'

Open-ended questions invite elaboration and cannot be answered with yes/no. 'What makes you anxious?' requires patient to explain. Closed-ended: 'Do you have pain?' 'Are you allergic?' Open-ended improve communication and elicit richer information.
