Communication involves information being sent, received and decoded between two or more people (Balzer-Riley 2008) and involves the use of a number of communication skills; which in a nursing context generally focuses on listening and giving information to patients (Weller 2002). This process of sending and receiving messages has been described as both simple and complex (Rosengren 2000 in McCabe 2006, p.4). It is a process which is continually utilised by nurses to convey and receive information from the patient, co-workers, others they come into contact with and the patient’s family.

Therapeutic communication is the basis to maintain a proper nurse patient relationship. Furthermore, understanding that therapeutic communication which is so vital, patient’s literacy level is also crucial in the communication process. Boykins D., 2014 states that “individuals that experience health literacy problems receive less preventative care and have poor understanding of health problems and care”. A nurse assesses each patients’ literacy level upon their first interaction, she also uses therapeutic communication to build a strong nurse patient relationship. Therapeutic communication can be verbal and nonverbal, both equally important to help build a bridge for communication. An example of nonverbal therapeutic communication would be silence; in some cultures, silence is a norm and a way of thinking. With a precise assessment and proper

Communication is a tool that nurse leaders should master to send information, perception, and understanding to achieve work activities and goals. Effective communication involves clear and direct messaging of thoughts and ideas. The three elements that leaders utilize when creating and enhancing effective communication are trust, respect, and empathy. For this paper, I will discuss some of the issues found in chapter seven’s critical thinking exercise. Nurse Olivia Witte, who is in charge of an interdisciplinary team, faces several issues regarding communicating with the organization’s physicians about a critical pathway development for ventilator-dependent patients, the dietician who wants to integrate dietary protocols for the pathway, and a home health care representative who is absent from meetings because of accreditation survey work.

It can be hard for nursing students to apply theoretical knowledge to clinical setting without some proper guidance and support. This paper will discuss a critical incident which occurred in Week 3 of my N308 clinical course. The incident was related to skilled communication and organized prioritization, which are topics covered in N307 seminar. From a nursing perspective, this incident made me realize the importance of effective communication, prioritisation, and management skills because disorganized care would pose a threat to patient’s safety and compliance with the fundamental principles listed in the CNA code of ethics (Canadian Nurses Association, 2017).

Communication is an activity that most people partake in on a daily basis. Learning to communicate in a therapeutic setting can be a challenge to any new nursing student. With verbal and nonverbal communication being seen as valuable and needed in psychiatric nursing. Learning to master such skills is an important step in guiding patient care. This writer believes that with discovering one’s own beliefs, setting up for a successful one to one relationship, and learning effective forms of verbal and non-verbal communication, psychiatric nurses can provide patients with the therapeutic opportunity that is needed for truly understanding patient needs. This writer will review and discuss relevant evidenced based research to support this claim.

This model focus on one type of communication verbaral resach suggesstes that the majority of communication is non-verbal. According to Argyle (1988), only 7% of the message is communicated verbally by the words used during an interaction while the remaining 93% is communicated non-verbally. Of the non-verbal communication, 38% involves the use of vocal tones and 55% is attributed to body language.

Communication is the foundation of exchanging information from one person to another, whether it is in the form of written, spoken or by body language, communicating is vital to everyone. Therefore, effective communication is imperative within the healthcare, for it is through communication relationships, information and understanding are obtained. The purpose of this paper is to read the critical thinking exercise with Nurse Oliver Witte and describe the problems that are presented, whose problems it is? What should Olivia do about it? In addition, I will discuss what mode of communication Olivia is using and in what order should she communicate with first, along with who else needs to be involved with this her communication. Lastly, what type of leadership and management strategies should Olivia use?

1. Why do you think that research has found that physicians with good communication skills had fewer patient complaints and lawsuits? Identify at least two specific ways that a doctor’s communication skills can improve the patient’s experience.

Mr. Comer was admitted to his local community hospital for respite care. He has suffered multiple, acute strokes in the past, which has left him with severe disabilities. These include paralysis rendering him immobile, aphasia (speech loss) and dysphagia (swallowing difficulties). He relies on carers for all normal activities required for daily living (Roper et al 1996) and is advised to have a pureed diet and thickened fluids.

At my workplace, we were having similar problem where nurses were not completing their charting, especially close to end of shift. The unit manager combat this issue by reminding everyone at the hurdles that corrective actions will be given to noncompliant individuals. Also reminders are posted throughout the unit to remind everyone that they need to chart the vital signs every hour and heart sounds and neurological status every four hours. The charge nurse is also responsible for ensuring that everyone is in compliance. According to Wang, Hailey, and Yu (2011), “quality nursing documentation promotes structured, consistent and effective communication between caregivers and facilitates continuity and individuality of care and safety of patients”

During the hospital stay, John was very anxious and worried. Therefore, the psychological intervention most suitable to John according to his age group and health condition is the effective communication, as it makes him more adhere to the treatment and reduces his anxiety. In order to form a good therapeutic relationship in partnership, the nurse has to maintain good communication skills with the John and the other team members (McQueen, 2000). Therefore, in this essay, advanced communication used as the second intervention in John’s care. Communication is the exchange of information between people by means of speaking, writing or using a common system of sign (Webster and Reading, 2014). The health care professions depend on the communication

Conversations between nurses often include medical terminology, even in casual speech. The environment encourages unofficial acronyms, medical slangs and jargons that are easily misunderstood. These methods of conveying information may occur in the form of written or verbal communication. There has been an increased amount of written abbreviated communication with the introduction of electronic communication. Consequently, studies have shown health care mistakes were more related to systematic errors such as ineffective communication than human errors (Kowalski & Anthony, 2017, p.1). Therefore, better communicate skill between nurses, other healthcare professionals and supervisory staff will contribute to a safer environment for the patients.

Communication can be defined as the exchange of information, thoughts and feelings among people using speech or other means (Kourkouta and Papathanasiou, 2014). It is divided into verbal (speech) and non-verbal communication. Speech is not always the most important means of communication “Equally important are the messages conveyed through non-verbal means, such as facial expression (including eye contact), body posture, body position, movement and gestures” (Lavender, 2010). All these things and many more, help to deliver messages to other people about who we are and how to build effective communication between friends, family, colleagues and patients. In this essay we will focus on discussing the differences of the styles between persuasive communications and eliciting communication in nursing practice through the videos we have practiced and recorded.
