1NURSING INTERACTIONSIntroductionCommunication skills are crucial in the process of implementing effective nursingpractices. A transparent and effective course of communication helps in understanding thepatient dilemma. Additionally, some of the therapeutic communication approaches providesthe patient with sufficient autonomy in invoicing their individual opinions regarding the careservices (Gausvik et al. 2015). It is one of the pivotal aspects of establishment of patient careapproach where the patients are placed at the centre of the support and care services. Theassignment explores the affectivity of communication skills in delivery of enhanced care andsupport services.1. In this respect, Mrs. Forks is a lady admitted to the hospital with hypertension and hasreceived normal reports for most of her medical tests conducted. However, during myinteraction withMs. Forks I found her muttering to herself. She has overheard theconversations between me and a fellow nurse and that we were wishing that sheleaves soon as there is more number of patients than hospital beds.In order to meet Ms. Forks’ needs I should have in the first place consulted thegeneral physician attending to her.Therefore, in case if any future discrepancy in relating to Ms. Forks’ condition I willconsult the healthcare professional and the attending to her as well as the staff nursein charge of her care so that they could help me understand the treatment plans usedwith her so far.

2NURSING INTERACTIONSYes, I think I should taken initiatives to clear the misunderstanding of Ms. Forks byexplaining it to her that we were only discussing the conditions of the ward as feltequally responsible and committed towards her care need.I think I need to excel my time management skill as I provided too little time in myinteractions with Ms. Forks. Some of my interactions could have been more detailed.As commented by Lum et al. (2015), maintaining transparency in communication canprovide the patient with more autonomy in decision making.No. I don’t think I did not reflect much on the information collected for takingsupportive sessions of Ms. Forks as I totally missed that Ms. Forks has movementdisabilities and could not drive herself to the attending physician for routine check uptwo times a week.Yes, I think I respond to cues from Ms. Forks appropriately.2. During my interaction with Ms. Fork I found that she is an 82 year old woman livingon own without any family and children. However, she had been admitted to thehospital with complain of hypertension. Though, she has received nil or noabnormality in most of her medical records. However, she needs to be under constanttreatment and supervision. During my interaction with her I have found that thoughshe is deaf. However she lacks sufficient amount of consciousness with regards to themedications. The major issue though highlighted by her over here is difficulty inwalking which could make visiting the chamber of the general physician two times aweek difficult for her.
