Hi Jaya, this forms part of introductions and greetings - the setting and the background info about the patient should indicate if you know the patient or not. If it's a hospital ward, for example, it's reasonable to assume you have access to their chart. You may have also done a handover from the previous shift of caregivers on the ward. Therefore you already know their name. In which case you can simply make one up as part of your intro to the patient - may be something like 'Hi John, how are you feeling after your operation' yesterday. The interlocutor will simply go along with the name you choose. Alternatively you can play it safe by pretending to make sure the patient's notes are correct by asking the patient to confirm their name so you can check if it's the same one as on the notes. Alternatively, if the setting is for example an emergency department, then there's every chance you've never met the patient before, in which case you need to ask their name. Furthermore, the background info about the patient will also help you decide if you know them already. For example, if the role play card indicates that the patient is returning for the results of tests or for a follow-up appointment etc, then, assuming the original appointment was relatively recent it would be reasonable to assume that you probably already know their name. In which case you can just make one up and use that as part of your intro to the patient - the interlocutor will simply go along with whatever name you choose. As a rule of thumb, bearing in mind you're being marked on greetings and introductions unless the setting or the background info about the patient indicate that you know the patient's name, then assume you don't and ask the 'patient' (interlocutor for there name as part of your intro. Hope that all makes sense. Richard.
