The medical interview serves several functions. It is used to collect information to assist in diagnosis of the present illness, to understand the patient’s values, to assess and communicate prognosis, to establish a therapeutic relationship and to reach agreement with the patient about further diagnostic procedures and therapeutic options. The interview also offers an opportunity to influence patient behaviors.  Discuss the following:  Please answer the following questions and include your rationale and evidence-based research to support your written work. •What does it means to document accurately and appropriately? •What are the documenting guidelines? When is it appropriate to use abbreviations? •What is the difference between subjective and objective data? •What does it mean to demonstrate clinical reasoning skills? •How can you use clinical reasoning to plan the organization of a comprehensive exam? •How will you document variations of normal and abnormal assessment findings? •What factors influence appropriate tools and tests necessary for a comprehensive assessment? •Reflect on personal strengths, limitations, beliefs, prejudices, and values. •How will these impact your ability to collect a comprehensive health history? •How can you develop strong communication skills. •What interviewing techniques will you use to interview the patient to elicit subjective health information about their health history? •What relevant follow-up questions will you use to evaluate patient condition? •How will you demonstrate empathy for patient perspectives, feelings, and sociocultural background? •What opportunities will you take to educate the patient?

1-The key concept behind random sampling is getting an accurate representation by getting a wider variety of results. The main limitation to random sampling however is to get a spread that truly represents the entire population while also staying random. It is nearly impossible to stay random while also capturing a representation of the population as a truly random sample could just as easily have a group that all show the same result while the entire population would show another.

2-I really enjoyed reading your post. Random sampling can give researchers the most unbiased opinion of a study. Each individual that has been chosen for the study had an equal opportunity to be chosen. I really like how you described the limitations of random sampling, because the sample size can be to small and not have enough variation.

3-Random sampling is a method of sampling that is unbiased in way that allows for any sample to be chosen. Random sampling does have its limitations though one being that of having a small sample size which can affect the study. The other limitation is having a big group that has the same interest. For example taking a college and asking who their favorite college team is the chances are most will pick their school thus not giving the best results. In order to help prevent that it is important to have a large amount of people while also having the group be unbiased in a way that allows for a great variety in their choices in order to have the best results of random sampling.
