[Solved] Applied Sciences Motivational Interviewing assignment

Assignment Prompt & Instructions

### Purpose

Providing our patients with information to enable them to make positive choices in their own health care is a vital role of the respiratory therapist. In this motivational interview, you will converse with a live "patient" (can be a friend, family member, colleague, etc. – it just needs to be another person) to practice these skills.

For this assignment, you will have a choice of whether to do a mock motivational interview or produce pages that describes the concepts related to motivational interviewing. With the video option, you will practice motivational interviewing as a means of participating in transactional communication with a fictitious COPD patient, which is intended to help you in future patient interactions. You will also be expected to make videos for future classes within this program (and potentially in future professional capacities, too), and practicing this skill will help to develop both proficiency and confidence. However, for those wishing to complete the page instead, this assignment offers you an opportunity to practice your academic writing skills while still engaging with the important topic of motivational interviewing. Either option is acceptable.
