Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is important to give the person time to process what you asked, as they may need to think about their answer or have difficulty understanding the question. Rushing them for an answer or asking the question in another way may cause frustration or confusion. Writing the question on white paper may not be necessary for all patients and may not address any underlying communication or cognitive issues.
