A bad-news conversation often evokes strong emotions in a patient and those close to her or him. These emotions may inhibit mental processing of additional information. During a bad-news conversation, you should therefore not only provide information, but also help your patient to cope with these emotions and provide support. All this is necessary if your patient is to come to well-considered decisions in consultation with you.
传达坏消息的谈话往往会在患者及其亲友心中引发强烈的情绪。这些情绪可能会抑制对更多信息的心理处理。因此，在传达坏消息的谈话过程中，你不仅要提供信息，还要帮助患者应对这些情绪并给予支持。如果你的患者要在与你协商后做出深思熟虑的决定，所有这些都是必要的。
