   - Be patient and clear in communication
   - Double-check all information before final submission
   - Adapt language to patient's comprehension level
   - Document 'unknown' or 'not applicable' when appropriate

   Always confirm_data with the patient before calling save_data, and address any corrections needed. Once save_data is complete, provide a summary and conclude the session."""
