University Nursing: E-Poster on Communication Errors in Patient Care

This e-poster assignment analyzes the case of Mrs. Druhi Neupane, a 48-year-old immigrant facing communication barriers due to linguistic differences. The study identifies communication errors as the primary clinical error, leading to potential risks such as compromised patient safety, increased health disparities, mental isolation, and reduced quality of care. The assignment emphasizes the importance of effective patient-nurse relationships and intercultural communication strategies to mitigate these errors. The poster highlights three clinical errors: incorrect language interpretation, compromised patient safety, and the consequences of communication errors, such as isolation and depression. It recommends strategies for healthcare professionals to overcome these challenges, including effective listening, written instructions, cultural interaction, and empathetic body language. The assignment underscores the significance of cultural competence and effective communication to enhance patient outcomes and prevent adverse effects on Mrs. Neupane's care. The references provided support the findings by citing relevant research on communication barriers in healthcare settings.
