5419 – COMMUNICATION IN CARE SETTINGS
5419.1.1 Identify different reasons why people communicate
Communication can be comprehensibly said to be the overall process which is concerned
with exchanging one's views and opinions with another individual or a specific group. In this
relation, communication can be said to be the linking pin between two individuals who intend to
exchange information with one another (Brighton and Bristowe, 2016). This is all about coming
