Compare the topic sets. Choose the practice you need next.
An explanation can be accurate and still miss what the patient wants to know. Use this routine to make an independent role-play practice session more responsive.
Read the situation and write down the patient’s likely question. Then practise an opening that invites their perspective: “What is worrying you most about this?” Follow the answer with one focused question. If the patient is worried about managing a routine at work, a long definition of the condition will not resolve that concern.
