Explanation
Answer: A If one of your regular clients has a spot on their skin that seems to be getting larger over time, you should bring it to their attention and suggest they see a doctor. Referring the client to another health professional is part of your responsibility if you recognize that your scope of therapeutic abilities is inadequate to help the client. An enlarging spot on the skin could be skin cancer, and your client would be grateful that you mentioned it, especially if they have not noticed it before.
