Nice! I'm sure that a stressed patient appreciates your nice tone of voice and all the detailed information. Can you talk about a time when you calmed down an anxious patient? You might also discuss being an active listener, deep breathing with them, remaining calm yourself, and using distraction techniques. Good job!
