Interpersonal relationships is the connection that is shared between nurse and the patients. The nurse should make the care of the patients their first priority the NC code of conduct (2008) state that the nurse should make the care of people their first concern treating them as individual and respecting their dignity. The elements of patients nurse relationships are trust, active listening, respect, empathy and confidentiality. This strengthens the relationship between the patient and the nurse. Interpersonal skills are daily skills we use to relate and communicate with other people.
A holistic analysis of the effectiveness of communication in Nursing Practice Introduction: This essay is designed to analyse the effectiveness of communication in the nurse-to- patient relationships; drawing particular attention to the strengths and weaknesses of verbal communication among practitioners, nurses, clients and their significant others. Communication is one of the commonly stated competencies required to work effectively within any multi-professional environment (Suiter et al.2009) as cited in Thomas, Pollard & Sellman (2014). Arnold and Boggs (2011, pp163) defines communication as a two way process that uses a combination of verbal and non-verbal behaviours integrated for the purpose of sharing information. However, Goodman & Clemow (2010, pp55) argues that communication has gone beyond the mere exchange of information; nonetheless, other attributes of clients are being shared, like meanings, views or feelings. Based on these two premise, communication in nursing focuses on attending, listening, intervening and exploring the contents of information while observing the feelings of the patient (Arnold and Boggs, 2009, pp37-38).
As such it enables health practitioners of all varieties to address healthcare questions with an evaluative and qualitative approach. EBP allows the practitioner to assess current and past research, clinical guidelines, and other information resources in order to identify relevant literature while differentiating between high-quality and low-quality findings (EBP Website) .

Running Head: INTERVIEWS NVT2 TASK #2 1 Interviews NVT2 Task #2 Diana Kaminski Western Governors University Interviews Task #2 2 Summary After interviewing the perspective disciplines, all the disciplines acquire assistance from other staff members. It is apparent that all staff members value the expertise from the other disciplines when they have questions of that particular field and are uncertain of a particular topic. For example, the staff nurse that I interviewed said she utilized orthopedics and cardiologists most often to discuss treatments and referrals when necessary. The certified nurse midwife stated that she utilizes the expertise of family practice physicians and OB/GYN. Each nurse demonstrated that teambuilding is important because it helps to provide better patient care by utilizing the expertise of the other disciplines and allowing collaborative efforts to resolve patient problems.
There are various key factors and focuses incorporating the characterizations of health care communication; one such focus is the relevancy of valuable personal health care communication with other professionals, consumers, and patients. Also the relevancy of effective professional health care communication related to health outcomes; another is focusing on the lack of effective personal and professional healthcare communication that contributes to the reduction of positive health care
"Furthermore, nursing practice incorporates intellectual and interpersonal skills in the care of patients and their families and emphasizes an interdisciplinary and collaborative relationship with other healthcare providers. Excellence in nursing requires commitment, caring, and critical thinking in terms of mastery of clinical skills, status, and control over practice" (CCN, 2015). When referring to the "person" aspect of metaparadigm for nursing we, as nurses, focus on the comfort, safety, care, needs, and advocacy of our patients. With each patient I encounter, I make an attempt to connect on a personal level with these patients, learn a little bit more of their personal life, and build upon trust; all of which aids in the successful health outcome/quality of stay for my patients. The environment aspect of metaparadigm for nursing, this gives us, as nurses, the opportunity to explore the patients demographics, mental concerns, and safety concerns when out of the hospital; this allows for us, the nurse, to have a better insight on ways in which we could improve their environmental factors while in the hospital.
Carla Poston Initial Post TD #2 Nurse Leadership Nursing requires strong, consistent and knowledgeable leaders who inspire others, are visible, and support professional nursing practice. Leadership is an essential element for quality professional practice environments where nurses can provide quality nursing care. Key attributes of a nurse leader include being a(n): advocate for quality care, collaborator, articulate communicator, mentor, risk taker, role model and visionary (Stanley, 2006). The nurse leader has an obligation to their clients, be it patients under their direct care, on their unit or the caregivers under his/her management, to demand practice environments that have the organizational and human support allocations
Fairman (2011) claims that she used the visit as the unit of analysis because it is known to be “flexible” and exemplifies “how nurses’ clinical practice changes over time and location” (p. 190). Fairman shares personal stories from nurse practitioners to demonstrate how nurses and physicians learned to work collaboratively by first establishing trust. Those personal stories show progressive gain of independence. By collaboratively working with physicians, nurse practitioner
Manley, K et al (2011) discusses that nurses and nursing staff provide and promote care that puts people at the centre, involves patients, service users, their families and their carers’ in decisions, and helps them make informed choices about their treatment and care. Person-centred care should focus on the person and ensure the person is at the centre of all decisions which is advantageous to a holistic approach in the treatment of our clients and not just their health requirements but in all aspects of living, this chain of thought is supported by Harvey (2010) who discussed that being truly person centred is about recognising people within the full context of their lives and how they live them and not just focusing on their health condition. Outcomes will need to be based on what is important to people within these contexts and specifically relate to them as individuals. The scope of this assignment is to identify the key principles of person-centred care, to
The PPACA places a substantion value on nursing because nurses are often the healthcare professionals that have the most contact with patients. nurses will be instrumental in providing “patient evaluation and education, assuring continuity and coordination of care across settings and providers, and communicating effectively within the health care team and the patient and patient’s family and representatives” (ANA, 2010,
