Summary

During the introductory phase with the patient, I felt that she was really trying her best to make-
up from her state and it makes me feel happy for her. Non verbal and verbal communication helped me
understand the patients’ feelings more and know where she is really coming from. Non verbal cues like:
the gaze of her eyes, fidgeting, and the tone of her voice helps me correlate verbal cues and to explore
more about the certain topic. Using therapeutic communication, I can be on track of how smoothly our
conversation goes and strengthens the nurse-patient relations.
