She does not make eye contact even though you keep trying. You think she may be hard of hearing, so you increase the volume of your voice. She also takes a long time to answer your questions, so you rephrase them thinking that she probably doesn't understand what you are asking. Then she starts to say yes to your questions about social support and availability of foods, so you think you are on the right track. Your next patient is arriving in 10 minutes and Joan is leaving tomorrow to go home. You give her some complex written diet sheets that you use for all your patients.
