One should enter the room of the sick in a positive mood and feeling. One should not display any moods of sadness or melancholy as this could affect the welfare of the patient.

One should not bring bad tiding to a sick person.

If one needs to fulfill the mitzvah of Bikur Cholim and Nichum Aveilim (consoling a mourner) and he is able to just do one or the other, then preference is given to the mitzvah of nichum aveilim.
