Article Abstract
Maintaining professionalism during a difficult patient interaction is paramount to providing excellent patient care, but it can be challenging. As the patient-physician relationship has evolved, patient autonomy has increased and shared decision-making is prioritized. This evolution has led to improved patient support and satisfaction; however, it has added a complexity to the physician-patient interaction. In addition, communication barriers, noncompliance, cultural and socioeconomic differences, mental health issues, impairments, and legal concerns can lead to challenging patient interactions. Strategies used to address these delicate situations can help lead to improved physician and patient satisfaction as well as improved patient outcomes.

Surface sanitation is used to mitigate the transmission of infectious agents and is the collective process of washing a surface then rinsing it with potable water to remove debris and residual cleaning agent. If necessary and depending on surface type, contamination event, or regulatory requirement, an antimicrobial agent (chemical sanitizer or disinfectant) registered with the Environmental Protection Agency or heat (steam or hot water) can be applied to the surface to reduce or inactivate pathogenic microorganisms. The absence of universally defined terms and regulations pertaining to the various stages of surface sanitation has resulted in confusion, potentially leading to inadequate sanitation practices and persistent surface contamination.
