Option B is the most appropriate way to start a conversation with a new patient as it acknowledges the patient by name, welcomes her, and politely asks for additional information needed to complete the admission process. The other options lack appropriate introductions, use inappropriate language, or are too blunt, which could make the patient uncomfortable or anxious.
