Which is the most appropriate question to ask to encourage conversation when interviewing an adolescent?

a.
“Are you in school?”
b.
“Are you doing well in school?”
c.
“How is school going for you?”
d.
“How do your parents feel about your grades?”

ANS: C

Open-ended questions encourage communication. Direct questions with “yes” or “no” answers do not encourage conversation. Direct questions that can be interpreted as judgmental do not enhance communication. Asking adolescents about their parents’ feelings may block communication.
