Question 3

Compare and contrast the "good" patient and "problem" patient roles.

Accepted Answer

The "good" patient and "problem" patient roles can be seen as two contrasting ways in which patients interact with their healthcare providers.

The "good" patient is typically compliant, follows medical advice, and is cooperative with their healthcare team. They are often seen as easy to work with and are more likely to have positive outcomes due to their adherence to treatment plans. They are also more likely to have a good rapport with their healthcare providers.

On the other hand, the "problem" patient may be non-compliant, resistant to medical advice, or difficult to work with. They may challenge their healthcare providers, question their recommendations, or be non-adherent to treatment plans. This can lead to frustration for both the patient and the healthcare team, and may result in poorer health outcomes for the patient.

It's important to note that these roles are not fixed and can change over time. A patient who starts off as a "problem" patient may become more compliant and cooperative with the right support and communication from their healthcare providers. Similarly, a "good" patient may become more challenging if they feel their concerns are not being addressed or if they experience negative interactions with their healthcare team.

Overall, understanding and addressing the factors that contribute to these roles can help healthcare providers better support their patients and improve their overall health outcomes.
