General Instructions
Some clients present specific challenges during the interview and physical examination.

This week, you will create a scenario that could occur in NP practice in which a client displays a challenging behavior as assigned below.
Your topic is assigned based on the first letter of your first name. For example, if your first name is Grant then your assigned topic is communicating with a flirtatious client.

| E – H | Flirtatious client |
| I – L | Talkative client |
