false assurance - Correct Answers Kidding or falsely cheering patients out of a situation only
makes the sonographer feel more comfortable. It deprives the patient of working through a
problem and possibly finding solutions or making decisions
false reassurance - Correct Answers - Sonographers should avoid telling patients not to worry,
that everything will be all right, just to prevent the patient from talking about their fears. The
sonographer really does not know that everything will be fine. By saying these things, he or she
may give the patient false hope. Instead, sonographers should show respect for patients by a
willing-ness to listen, without judgment, to their concerns and feelings. Correct information that
is as true and as factual as possible should be given. If the sonographer does not know the facts
or is not free to discuss them, he or she should find someone who is authorized to give that
information.
