PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION IN NURSING
Introduction
Effective nursing patient communication is the basis of a good relationship and better health care
practice (Arnold, & Boggs, 2019). Communication is an essential activity where nurses
communicate patients and other family members to pass crucial messages about the state of the
patient. Nurses use communication skills to build a strong therapeutic relationship with the
patients and determine their needs. Effective communication creates a healthy and therapeutic
relationship between nurses and patients that improves proper monitoring, patient safety, and
better handling of patients. The case study on Mr. George, a 74-year-old male with no known
allergies, will be used to explain the importance of effective communication in nursing practice
and patient care.
Effective communication has a significant impact on the patient's results in many ways, such as
enhancing diagnostic accurateness and improve the well-being and satisfaction to patients
(Levett-Jones, 2020). Person-centered care is defined as showing care and respect for every
person through the expressions by actions and words from the professions in health care (Hill,
Hall & Glew, 2017). The approach involves an association between patients, family members,
and nurses to achieve better goals and plan on better methods to take responsibility for the
patients. Proper care is universal to patients and is practical by the use of intrapersonal skills.
The therapeutic relationship is adequately demonstrated where the relationship between
healthcare professionals and patients is concerned in promoting and reinstating the well-being of
people within this relationship (Canobbio et al., 2017. In a therapeutic relationship, researches
state that the personhood of the nurse is considered as necessary as the patients being cared for.
Therefore, effective communication is the basis of a therapeutic relationship.

Effective communication involves both verbal and non-verbal skills (Bambaeeroo, & Shokrpour,
2017). Verbal skills include nurses having an excellent response to the patient's needs through
spoken words. Non-verbal skills include the body language that a nurses shows when responding
to a particular incident (Geldenhuys, 2019). Nurses handling Mr. George can use the
communication skills for useful feedback, which can motivate him to give more details about his
health condition.
The therapeutic relationship is improved by proper combination of verbal and non-verbal
communication skills between the people involved (Chaudhri, et al., 2019). The discussion
should include nurses, patients, and the family members. It ensures that the patient's health issues
are addressed well through designed care, and feedback is provided to enhance better decision
making. Verbal skills involves being audible and using courteous language. Non-verbal skills
involves the use of gestures and facial expressions. Appropriate communication is facilitated by
how people value others and encourage them to be open (Hill, Hall & Glew, 2017). Nurses
handling such cases should have a proper connection by looking at the needs of the patients and
teach them about how to take personal care.
In the context of the case study, professionals in healthcare taking care of Mr. George could
handle his situation by having active patient-centered care. It could be much more comfortable
when they create a strong relationship between him and his family members. The move could
motivate him to discuss more issues regarding his health since he could feel much appreciated.
From the assessment report, nurses found out that Mr. George was a heavy smoker who smokes
20 cigarettes in a day for the past 42 years. He was also an alcohol drinker, and his feeding habits
are not right. Therefore, nurses could have taught him about the importance of leaving a better
lifestyle to improve his health. Mr. George had ceased from a smoking cigarette but still missed
