As a radiographer, you must communicate information to patients, carers, and their family members that may be challenging for them to understand if they are not in the medical field. It may be challenging because they do not understand complex medical terms or may not understand because of cognitive reasons. The interviewers want to learn more about your patience and communication skills and that you take the time to relay information in a way that your patients and their loved ones can understand. Describe your process for communicating challenging information to those not in the healthcare industry.

"When relaying complex information to a patient, carers, and family members, I look for clues to determine if they are confused or understand what I am saying. I speak in simple terms since medical terminology can confuse people outside the industry. After relaying the information, I ask if they have any questions or need clarification. I take the time to ensure they completely understand, and if they do not, I figure out another way to deliver the information. If the information that needs to be delivered is outside my scope of practice as a radiographer, I will ask the physician to speak with the patient and family."
