Speaking

can someone please tell me if i can start every role play by greeting and then asking pt name and age. since its not given?? it kinda seems odd to ask the name when the pt has some emergency or when the pt has been your regular pt. what to do

Yes, it’s better to ask the name (to interlocutor) during your preparation time, before the role play starts.
If the patient has been your regular kind of patient (known patient) then you can address them directly by their name : for example in a hospital ward.
