B. communication
C. control
D. competence
E. charting
A. caring
There are two important benefits to showing patients a caring attitude. First is improvement in their medical condition. A secondary benefit is the decreased likelihood that patients will feel the need to sue if treatment has unsatisfactory results, or if adverse events occur. The practitioner should be sincere, because others often quickly sense insincerity.
