Open-ended questions
The following video shows a provider using open-ended questions to elicit information from the patient. Open-ended questions are designed to be answered in multiple ways. Any question that can be answered with a “yes” or “no” is not an open-ended question, so you want to avoid them when conducting Motivational Interviewing (MI). Open-ended questions are meant to make the patient feel comfortable by allowing them to give multiple answers using their own words.

Affirmations
The following video shows an interaction between a provider and patient using affirmations. Affirmations are compliments or statements of appreciation regarding effort or a positive behavior in which the patient has engaged. Affirmations are meant to support self-efficacy, build rapport and let the patient know you notice their work on a specific issue.
Reflections
In this video, the provider uses reflections to confirm understanding of what the patient has said. You paraphrase a patient’s statement to make sure you understand what the patient is saying. Patients will usually respond to your reflection by saying “Yes, that’s it.” It also serves as a rapport-building tool, as the provider is demonstrating that they are listening to the patient’s words and story.
