Nurses can adopt several strategies to ensure their communication is clear and simple: - Avoid Medical Jargon: Replace complex medical terms with plain language. For example, use "high blood pressure" instead of "hypertension." - Use Short Sentences: Keep sentences concise and to the point. - Speak Slowly and Clearly: Ensure that patients can follow along and understand. - Check for Understanding: Ask patients to repeat information back to you to confirm their understanding.
