The Power of Clear Communication

Communication is key to nursing success. You’ll need to:

• Use open-ended questions to gather information
• Provide education to patients and families
• Collaborate with healthcare teams
• Document care accurately and thoroughly

Overcoming Barriers

Cultural differences, language, and emotions can all affect how messages are received. Using interpreters and showing empathy helps bridge these gaps.

Impact on Care

Good communication leads to better patient outcomes, fewer errors, and a positive work environment.
