Reflective Listening
• Paraphrasing – “Let me make sure I
understand”
– “So you’ve been really struggling with this for awhile”
60/40 rule

Case
• Patient is a 30 year old female who was hospitalized for an asthma exacerbation - likely due to an upper respiratory tract infection. She came to the hospital late in her illness.
• She needs to be discharged on standing Advair diskus, two puffs twice daily and as needed albuterol. She also needs to check her peak flow measurements regularly and follow the asthma action plan.
• You need her to understand that even if she is feeling well, she needs to take the advair diskus twice daily at all times.
• You also need her to understand that she needs to measure her peak flow three times a day, even if she feels well because that could help predict an exacerbation.
