Review the conversation below and then determine what type of questions the nurse is asking:
Patient: I was very sick last night.
Nursing Assistant: Oh my, what happened?
Patient: Well, I got up to get a drink of water and I suddenly felt dizzy and vomited quite a bit.
Nursing Assistant: How are you feeling now?
Patient: Well, I have stopped vomiting but my side hurts. I wonder if I pulled a muscle from being so physically ill.
Nursing Assistant: Hmmm, we should probably have someone take a look at it. How does it feel when you take a deep breath?
Patient: Well, I have been breathing pretty shallow because I am afraid it will hurt.
Nursing Assistant: Well, let me see if I can get the doctor to come observe your deep breaths and you can explain the pain to him.

In the conversation provided, the nursing assistant is primarily asking **open-ended questions**. These types of questions invite the patient to provide more detailed responses and share their experiences and feelings. For example:
- "Oh my, what happened?"
- "How does it feel when you take a deep breath?"
These prompts encourage the patient to elaborate on their symptoms and feelings rather than simply answering with a yes or no, which would be characteristic of closed-ended questions.
Therefore, the correct response is **open-ended questions**.
