1NURSING & COMMUNICATION FOR THERAPEUTIC PATIENT CARE
Introduction:
Effective interaction is a pillar of effective health treatment (Bloomfield & Pegram,
2015). The truthful ways of nurse-patient contact include verbal and nonverbal contact (e.g.,
body language, facial expression, expressions and the gap between you and your patients). Good
contact between nurse and patient may increase continuity of treatment, health results and a
partnership between nurse and patient that increases patient satisfaction. However, good contact
between nurse and patient is the toughest obstacle for nurses and takes a lot more than training
and expertise. The paper below discusses the importance of effective communication in between
a nurse and patient and the ways it become necessary to develop a therapeutic relationship in
between the patient and the nurse and ensure the safety of the patient (Lavin, Harper & Barr,
2015). Additionally, the paper also discusses the concepts of verbal and non-verbal skills that are
incorporated into nursing care along with the need of implementing person centered care (Sharp,
McAllister & Broadbent, 2016) and correct documentation while treating a patient.
Discussion:
Effective communication in between nurse and patient and incorporation of
therapeutic treatment:
Nurses can be seen nearly anywhere in healthcare facilities specifically at medical
screenings, at nurse stations, and, most often, with the medical in the consultation room or at
bedside. Nurses are on the front lines of health care, which makes contact between nurses and
patients important for a good patient experience. Communication plays an important part in such
specialized fields as nursing. An important part of nursing care is usually maintaining good

contact with patients. Nurses may understand the nursing needs of the patient by behavioral
abilities as effective contact with patients allows nurses to strive and develop a comprehensive
understanding of the particular patients and their specific characteristics. Indeed, successful
nurse-patient partnership requires a broad variety of activities across various clinical practice
areas and is an important element of high-quality nursing care (Sharma, Bamford & Dodman,
2015). The scenario that is discussed in this essay projects Chester Abioye, who as per the
assessment projects signs of feeling depressed and is shown inactive in his daily life activities.
Being a registered nurse it is important for the nurse to make Chester understand the
consequences his daily lifestyle might cause to in his near future. Implementation of nurse-
patient relationship work is required to enhance clinical expertise of nursing. Numerous
researches on different forms of nurse-patient contact have been undertaken in this respect. Work
also reported to indicate that encouraging interpersonal environments (Sharma, Bamford &
Dodman, 2015) affected the nurses 'relational interaction with patients. Efficient nursing care
included regular contact with the patient, and continuous consideration of the needs of the
patient. It also seems that nurses and patients are engaged in a process of reciprocity which
influences both parties. For this reason, reflecting on nursing skills in this process can lead to
difficulties being identified and possible solutions being recognized. Thus, a understanding of the
cultural dimensions (Lorié et al., 2017) of communicating in clinical practice may benefit nurses.
The vigilance of the nurses at bedside is extremely important for their ability to guarantee patient
safety (Conroy et al., 2017). Therefore it is logical that assigning increasing numbers of patients
ultimately jeopardizes the potential of nurses to provide optimal care. Several longitudinal
studies have shown the correlation between nurse staffing ratios and patient health,
