After I felt I had set a calm and relaxed surroundings, I then asked the patient what the problem was and how I could help them, from that I found out that the patient was suffering from severe abdominal pains, it was then my duty to ask the teenager a few questions which could then give me an idea of the possible outcome’s to my patients problem, one of the questions I also asked the patient was if she was comfortable where she was sat or if she would like to lie down the stretch out the pain in her abdomen.

I felt I didn’t inform the patient very well about what was going to happen next, next I could inform the patient I am going to ask her questions and then run a
