When presenting to patients who aren’t responding, ask questions to help them get started. Some patients are reluctant to ask questions or express concerns. When working with patients like this, try to anticipate what they want to say. Draw them out with simple, encouraging questions, or simply go ahead and explain things you think they need to know. This will help them learn to trust you.
