• Questioning Skills
My questioning style during the session involved a range of open and close questions and in several instances. I also used the funnelling technique to allow the patient to expand on answers or to request further clarification or information. This style of questioning supports the patient to focus and an appropriate range of answers without feeling overwhelmed or interrogated (Can et al., 2012).
In future experience, I aim to continue to use this technique and skill to obtain a holistic understanding of the patient’s problems and promote change in patients.
• Problem statement review

I used my questioning skills to explore this further and this enabled the patient to reflect and conceptualise these as a result of increased exposure and decreased avoidance to situations due to a fear of having a panic attack. This reflection and questionnaires demonstrate progress; therefore, I aim to continue to evaluate the MDS questionnaires in a collaborative …show more content…
Using my questioning skills, I explored lessons learned, difficulties and his understanding of the low intensity intervention. The patient was able to answer all questions and more importantly demonstrated a change in cognition i.e. “I learned that nothing bad will happen to me”.
Homework tasks are critical as they enable patients to gain and practice skills learnt in the session which is known to lead to improvement of symptoms (Cully & Teten, 2008).
Upon reflection, I could have started by asking the patient to remind me what was set as homework from the previous session therefore checking his understanding and promoting shared responsibility. In the future, I will ask the patient to inform me what was set as homework and afterwards describe their experience of completing
This paper will explain the seven principles of patient-clinician communication. It will then apply three of those principles to my interactions with my patients. Next, it will describe three methods being used in my area of practice to improved communication between the patients and clinicians. It will ultimately choose one of those principles that applies best to my practice and clearly describe how I use it. It will describe ethical principles that can be applied to issues with patient-clinician communication.

This writer strongly encourages the patient to think about what is important for his recovery as he expressed to this writer during the walk down the hallway about returning back to work doing landscape.

Refection –on-Action and Clinical Learning: Describe three ways your nursing skill expanded during this experience. I believe my nursing skills expends every time I go to clinical, every time I have new patients, and every time I have new task to do. I get more experience during each clinical. I get more used to clinical system, and I to know the patient and how to assesse them. Name three things you would do differently if you encounter this kind of situation again.
Explain the differences/similarities between what you experienced in the clinical setting regarding your patient’s medical condition, developmental stage, etc. Answer: My patient had swelling under his chin and eczema. I was trying to assess the skin and he would say no for everything.
She must understand the doctor's instructions and the patient's concerns. Her communications skills focus on both giving and receiving information as well as creating an environment of confidence. Some consequences of ineffective communication can be chaos, confusion, disorder, fear, conflict, inefficient systems, and wasted resources (Vertino, 2014). An ineffective communication can lead to errors in patient’s misdiagnosis and even medication on admission, during hospital stay, and after discharge, and whether these errors were potentially harmful.
Subsequently, more emphasis is placed on the importance of expanding patients’ knowledge of the treatment that they are to receive and how to refine their self-care and management for the future. This can potentially improve the day-to-day lives of both the patient and medical staff. As the well-known Chinese proverb states: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a
REFLECTION OF THE INTERVIEW 2.1 Description A component of the Effective Communication module, is an Inter-professional Education (IPE) enrichment activity and we were put into groups with the Pharmacy students. There were in total 2 Nursing students and 3 Pharmacy students. We were tasked to interview a healthcare professional. We interviewed Dr Edwin Lim from Tzu Chi Free Health Screening and Free Clinic (TCFC). He specialises in Family Medicine.
Open ended questions are a good way to obtain fuller information, rather than a closed ended question that requires more than a simple yes or no answer. This therapeutic communication technique is particularly useful when the nurse wants fuller and deeper information from the client and wants to know the patient’s feelings and beliefs about their current health situation. Closed ended questions are useful when the client is cognitively impaired or they are on mechanical ventilation with intubation and not able to speak with the nurse and others. Nontherapeutic communication, like giving false reassurance or sympathy or just asking “why” questions, verbally or nonverbally, can make patients feel defensive. If we try to make assumptions about his/her feelings, we might jump to the wrong conclusions.
o Chattering hopes and advices: Talk only when needed. o Food : Keep in mind, the patient’s food preferences.
