The patient has difficulty speaking, while a family member insists on answering all questions on the patient's behalf. Key Issues: Patient autonomy Communication barriers Family involvement Patient-centered care Critical Thinking Question: How can the radiologic technologist ensure the patient's voice remains central to the care process while appropriately involving family members? Learning Point: Patients should be encouraged to participate in their own care whenever possible, and communication strategies should be adapted to accommodate individual patient needs while maintaining dignity and autonomy.
