Effective communication, either non-verbal or verbal communication is an essential factor to
consider while nurse-patient interaction is on the process. However, this kind of
communication promotes the patient's safety and feel more encouraged to ask questions,
leading to health therapeutic nurse-patient relationship (Amoah, Anokye & Afriyie, 2019).
Therefore, communication techniques have background significance, since it influences the
quality of nurse-patient interaction, to the extent of monitoring and taking control of patients'
health while in hospital, and offering medical advice. For example, poor communication
negatively affects the participation of nurses and nurses, leading to having unprofessional
practice in the environment (Hartley & Elowitz, 2020). A good result in a healthy and
therapeutic relationship between patient and nurse is effective communication is essential. In
the entire document, the following issues are discussed in more detail based on provided case
study; verbal and non-verbal communication skills, patient-centered care, and finally,
documentation. However, "How effective communication techniques promote a therapeutic
relationship to build safe and holistic care on patients' condition.”
The case provided of Mr. George, a 73-year-old male with no unknown allergies, was born in
Vietnam on 17/01/1946 but migrated to Australia, with current address 52 Homebush St,
Central, 2001. However, through the use of this case study, competent and professional
communication skills will be analyzed with the context of nursing practice. Verbal and non-

some instances to offer a response (Del Giacco, Anguera & Salcuni, 2020). However, Nurse
dealing with Mr. George's case to promote healthy therapeutic interaction, useful

scenario of George, it is possible to explain his condition of allergies due to smoking and get
useful feedback like treatment and medical advice from the nurse, either through verbal or
non-verbal means of communication. Additionally, health requirements, correct measures to
take, and patient-centered care are promoted through professional communication. Therefore,
a therapeutic relationship is encouraged through the use of verbal and non-verbal
communication were appropriately (Blackburn, Ousey & Goodwin, 2019).
Person-centered care is another essential to be practiced in professional communication, thus
impacting the nurse-patient relationship. However, person-centered care involves respect and
trust in every set of health practice, therefore motivating the patient to feel free and open to
express himself and have a direct response to his/her condition (Hill, Hall & Glew, 2017).
Person-centered care requires the nurse to know the value and beliefs of the person receiving
health care serving with an extent to understand its physical state (Øvretveit & Degsell,
2019). Each interaction in a healthcare environment should be considered viable through
