What can a physician do if a patient refuses the recommended treatment?

What will be an ideal response?

Documentation reflects that, through the physical examination, the physician has identified significant pain in the patient's left ankle. Collection of history reveals that the patient twisted his ankle when he tripped on a curb eighteen hours earlier and both the pain and swelling have only increased, leading the physician to consider a possible tear or fracture. The patient is unable to put any

weight on the ankle and has very limited movement. The physician is fairly certain the patient experienced a significant tear of the tendon but orders diagnostic radiology to be sure a fracture is not involved. Which of the following options best reflects this scenario? A. Possible diagnosis B. Probable diagnosis C. Rule out diagnosis D. Differential diagnosis
