Maintaining an appropriate voice volume is essential for several reasons:
Patient Comfort: Speaking too loudly can cause distress or anxiety in patients, especially those who are already in pain or anxious. Conversely, speaking too softly may lead to misunderstandings or the need for repetition, which can be frustrating. Clarity of Communication: An appropriate voice volume ensures that instructions and information are clearly understood by patients and their families. This is crucial for following medical advice and medication instructions. Professional Environment: A calm and measured voice volume helps maintain a professional and respectful atmosphere in healthcare settings, which is essential for both patient safety and staff well-being.
