What is the appropriate way to inform a patient of the results of an oral biopsy?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Schedule a face-to-face post-operative follow-up appointment to discuss the results in person
Biopsy results — especially anything with the possibility of a serious diagnosis — should be communicated to the patient directly and in person whenever possible, allowing for proper explanation, questions, and discussion of next steps, rather than via voicemail, text, or a third party.
