Clear communication in nursing involves several key components: - Active Listening: Nurses must listen attentively to understand patients' needs and concerns fully. - Empathy: Demonstrating empathy helps to build trust and rapport with patients. - Non-Verbal Communication: Non-verbal cues such as eye contact, body language, and facial expressions play a significant role in conveying messages. - Clarity and Conciseness: Information should be conveyed clearly and concisely to avoid misunderstandings. - Feedback: Providing and soliciting feedback ensures that the message has been understood correctly.
