When referring a patient to another doctor you need to communicate to both the patient and the doctor any of the following possible situations EXCEPT?
A、you are transferring all care to the other physician
B、you are only seeking a 2nd opinion and that the patient is to return afterwards
C、you want to shift the malpractice risk
D、the patient is to return only after having received treatment from the other doctorShifting malpractice risk is not an acceptable reason for referring patients ; referring a patient to another health care provider generally relieves the original physician of responsibility for care of the patient and reduces the liability of the health care provider ; but if the referral is not made correctly, the liability of the referring provider may increase ; the referral must be acceptable to all three parties involved: the referring physician, the receiving physician, and the patient
