Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Read the scenario message

In the module, you were given this message to review:

“Mrs. Chen keeps asking for her son. He’s always late. I think she’s paranoid again today.”

Think about:

• Is any part of this message judgmental or disrespectful?
• Does it share more information than is needed?
• Is it appropriate for professional documentation?

---

Step 2: Revise the message

Rewrite the message so that it is:

• Clear, factual, and objective
• Respectful and culturally sensitive
• Aligned with privacy and confidentiality principles

Your new message should focus on Mrs. Chen’s behaviour and needs, not on personal opinions.

---

Step 3: Write a short rationale

Write 3–4 sentences that explain:

• What you changed in the message
• How your changes improve privacy, confidentiality, and respectful communication

You can mention ideas such as: avoiding labels, protecting identity, or following professional standards.
