Question

Imagine you're a health care provider. a patient presents with a lump in her breast that she first noticed two years ago. when you ask about her medical history, she tells you that she has never seen a health care provider to examine the lump before. what would be the best thing for the provider to do in response to this information?

Answer 1

The health care provider should respond in a positive way and should thank the patient to come for a diagnosis. He/she should ask the patient about the reason for the delay. The provider should not panic and make the patient nervous. The provider should stay calm and keep the patient relaxed too.
