I thought your not supposed to ask yes or no questions like can you tell me your name? They can just answer yes. Your supposed to ask what is your name
it depends. common answer to can you tell me your name is *patient's name*. sometimes they'll say yes my name is Billy Bob Joe. If you just ask can you tell me and they answer yes, then you can ask what is your name. however, if you ask can you tell me your name and they say no, then that gives you an idea if they are alert and oriented to person, which they are not.
