Depending on the terminology used in such results, a patient who is not educated in the field might become confused and not fully understand the meaning of the results.
The patient may not understand what is being reported in the test results.
Explanation:
The results from medical tests are written with terminology that is familiar to healthcare professionals, but may be totally unknown to patients. For this reason, it is recommended that patients do not open and try to read the test results, as they may not understand what is written, which will not help the patient at all and may end up confusing and giving an unrealistic idea about the result of the test and on his real health status.
In summary, sending the test results as written can leave the patient confused and without understanding the result.
