Pause and reset: privacy check + consent + limitations, then continue.”

You recognize that the consultation started too quickly and pause before proceeding further.

You verify Ny. M’s identity and current location, confirm who is present with her, and check whether she is in a private setting. You explain the purpose and limitations of the telemedicine consultation and obtain her consent to continue with her daughter and the village midwife present.

You also clarify that the remote consultation can help assess the urgency of her symptoms, but it cannot replace a complete in-person neurological examination or diagnostic testing.

After resetting the consultation appropriately, you continue with the structured telemedicine assessment.
