Communication is a cornerstone of nursing, and proximity plays a vital role in facilitating clear and empathetic interactions. When nurses are physically close to their patients, it becomes easier to engage in meaningful conversations, provide clear instructions, and offer reassurance. This closeness helps in accurately assessing the patient's needs and concerns, leading to more personalized care plans. Proximity also aids in non-verbal communication, which is often as important as verbal interactions in understanding a patient’s emotional and physical state.
