Assignment -

Aim of assessment - The Professional Communication Case Study Essay is your opportunity to discuss how nurses use professional communication skills to develop a therapeutic relationship with patients.

Answering this question in an essay format has three objectives:

• To assist you to develop academic reading and writing skills.
• To help you integrate knowledge about effective communication for developing therapeutic relationships using verbal and non-verbal communication skills, the principles of person centred care, and effective documentation (as discussed in the set readings for this unit of study).
• Demonstrate how these principles are applied in the care of the patient.

You are required to choose one of the three patient scenarios (Raymond Nguyen, Eileen Murphy, or Bruce O'Grady) to answer the essay question. You will use examples from the scenarios to discuss how the nurse would use verbal and non-verbal communication skills, person centred care, and effective documentation to develop a therapeutic relationship with the patient.
