NURSING CASESTUDY 21. Indeed, establishing a person-centered, therapeutic relationship is vital. A therapeutic interpersonal relationship is perceived by the patient to embrace caring and supportive non-judgmental conduct, entrenched in a safe atmosphere during a stressful time ( Lusk and Fater, 2013) At this stressful moment, Jason needs the type of relationship that presents genuine interest, friendliness, empathy, warmth and wishes to enable care and support. The therapeutic interpersonal relationship between Jason and health care professional willimprove his satisfaction, quality of life, adherence to treatment, depression, and levels of anxiety.Ideally, Jason needs to be taught how to handle all kinds of stress to facilitate better life in future and avoid accidents (Zegwaard et al., 2017). Besides, should understand the biographies involving their patients as well as their relatives. In this case, the nurse should pay attention towards the life stories of Jason and his experiences to enable fruitful nursing care. The nurse in charge of Jason should get to understand him and his ambitions for the future. It could be challenging hence requires the skill of listening and constructive talk. 2. Considering that Jason lives with his family, potential barriers towards communication would be experienced. This is because Jason has no control over who around him hence lack privacy. The communication might also not be successful because Jason could be having anxietyand fear to be judged. He is also weak emotionally despite the support from parents and the health professionals. The relationship between him and Ashley has had a big impact towards his health and gives him more fears in life (Tilsen and McNamee, 2015). As a result, he may not be

He or she needs to carefully understand the situation of Jason and the cause that may have led to disorientation, lack of touch with reality, functional disability and extremelydistraught (Tilsen and McNamee, 2015). By enabling effective communication, the nurse will be able to handle his state and improve it within a short period.3. As a nurse, one should always focus on the well-being of the patient. Therefore, he or sheshould embrace good communication techniques to encourage honest and open talk. In Jason's situation, I would use eye contact as a non-verbal communication. This is whereby; a person looks at the other party in the eye while talking to them in a respectable way ( Burgoon et al..2016).By doing this, the patient will know is listening to him keenly and interested in what heis saying. Eye contact conveys confidence and sincerity hence can encourage honest and open communication. Not using eye contact technique can sometimes demonstrate lack of interest, shifty and nervousness. In case the patient starts having negative views about the nurse, it can be hard to reverse them. Therefore, it is always necessary to focus and maintain eye contact. Indirect questioning can also be a good verbal communication technique. The approach ispreferred in most cases to enhance open communication.
