signposting
B2CEFR level
45/100Rarity: uncommon
TechnicalRegister
The technique of telling the patient what you are about to do or ask next, so the consultation has a clear structure.
A bit of signposting helps: 'I'm going to ask about your past health now, and then move on to your medications.'
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
