In my opinion this is kinda rude as an intial action. if the person continues to go back to the topic, I would say having a chaperone would help.... idk why Interrupting the patient with a more neurtal topic isnt the answer

wishmewell NVM! i read the question again. The patient has visited already 4 times with cheif complains regarding sexual organs in a short period of time. According to FA page 262 (2018) at this point a chaperone should be added, if this doesnt help then the patient needs to be forwarded to another physician. +5

groovygrinch Can someone explain why " Tell the patient that it is common for patients to fantasize about their physicians" is wrong? +7

mumenrider4ever @groovygrinch I don't think it's normal for patients to have sexual fantasies about their physicians lol +20

jurrutia Switching to a neutral subject doesn't "address the problem". Never refer, always address the problem. +3

jbrito718 a 35 year old with a chaperrone doesnt sound right to me. but nothing in NBME sounds right. I really hope step isnt this retarded +

neurotic999 I was between chaperone and switching to neutral topic. With the chaperone I somehow felt it was against the patient's privacy and shi*. lol. +

leonelgonzalezdiaz look at the chief complaint, it is pretty obvious why she is there when you add the rest of the information, you need a chaperone. +
