NUR1102 Assessment 2: Communication Analysis and Strategies

This presentation analyzes communication processes within a healthcare case study, focusing on the interactions between a nurse, a patient (Mrs. Helena Gerzick), and her family. The analysis delves into both verbal and nonverbal communication, identifying instances of effective and ineffective communication, and their impact on patient care and safety. The presentation includes a SOAP note (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) and an SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) handover, demonstrating practical application of communication frameworks. The student highlights the importance of effective communication in understanding the patient's mental and physical state, facilitating clear communication with physicians, and improving patient outcomes. The presentation references key literature on communication in nursing and patient-centered care, emphasizing the link between effective communication and improved patient well-being, particularly for elderly patients dealing with emotional distress. The presentation also explores the nurse's communication style and its impact on the patient's and family's perception of care.

INTRODUCTIONNAME- TARUNSTUDENT ID-

BACKGROUNDEFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION PLAYS AN INSTRUMENTALROLE THROUGHOUT A PATIENT’S ENTIRE HEALTHCAREEXPERIENCE, AND A LARGE PORTION OF THERESPONSIBILITY FALLS ON NURSES (BALZER-RILEY, 2017).

OVERVIEW
• DEEPLY ANALYSE THE
VERBAL AND NONVERBAL
COMMUNICATION
OCCURRED IN THE CASE
STUDY.
• SOAP NOTE
(SUBJECTIVE, OBJECTIVE A
SSESSMENT, PLAN)
• SBAR APPROACH
(SITUATION,
BACKGROUND,
ASSESSMENT,
RECOMMENDATION)

COMMUNICATIONSTRATEGY SENDER
 CONCERN
 RECEIVER
 CONTEXT

ANALYSIS (THE NURSE)
 THE NURSE SEEMED LITTLE BIT ANNOYED
WHILE TALKING TO THE PATIENT’S SON
 THE NURSE WAS LOUD WHEN TALKING TO
THE PATIENT.
 NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION USED IN AN
ARROGANT WAY.
 FAILED TO BUILD UP EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION WITH THE PATIENT AND HER
FAMILY.

ANALYSIS
(HELENA’S
SON)
• SEEMED ANGRY ON
THE NURSE FOR
MISLEADING
INFORMATION. ( AS
HELENA TOLD HER
SON THAT SHE WAS
INFORMED THAT
SHE COULD GO
HOME THIS
WEEKEND.)
• CONCERNED ABOUT
HIS MOTHER’S
HEALTH.

ANALYSIS
(HELENA)
• MISUNDERSTOOD THE NURSE
• BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION, CONFUSED ABOUT
HER STAYING AT THE OLD AGE
FACILITY.

APPROAC
H

CONCLUSION• COMMUNICATION WITH THE
PATIENT IS IMPORTANT IN
ORDER TO KNOW THE
CURRENT MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL SITUATION OF THE
PATIENT (SEAGO, 2019).
• IT HELPS NURSES TO STATE
PATIENT’S CONDITION
PROPERLY TO THE DOCTOR
(KING & HOPPE, 2013).
• EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
IMPROVES PATIENT’S MENTAL
HEALTH, WHICH INDIRECTLY
HELPS IN MEDICATION (ROTH
& HSU, 2010).
