What Are the Consequences of Inappropriate Voice Volume?
Inappropriate voice volume can lead to several negative consequences:
Miscommunication: Speaking too softly can result in important information being missed, while speaking too loudly can cause misunderstandings due to perceived aggression. Patient Distress: A voice that is too loud can increase a patient's anxiety or discomfort, particularly in those sensitive to noise. Professionalism: Inconsistent voice volume can affect the perception of a nurse's professionalism and competence, impacting the overall healthcare experience.
