"Hi M'Kenna, it's really nice to see you and your family today. I want to start by saying that I'm here to support you, and I appreciate you all coming in to talk with me. I've had a chance to review the nurse's report and your chart, and I noticed some changes in your weight recently. I want to understand how you're feeling and what you've been experiencing, so we can work together to ensure you’re healthy and feeling your best. It’s important to me that you feel comfortable sharing anything that might be on your mind. How have you been feeling lately?"
