How to Discuss Family Medical History with Parents?
When discussing family medical history, it is important to create a comfortable and non-judgmental environment. Start by explaining the importance of this information for their child's health. Use open-ended questions such as:
- "Can you tell me about any serious illnesses that run in your family?" - "Has anyone in the family been diagnosed with a chronic condition like hypertension or cancer?" - "Are there any known genetic disorders in your family?"
