    Activity I

    Study the three types of communicators below and then complete this phrase.

    As a future registered nurse, I want to be

    an owl because just like an owl that is neither non-assertive or aggressive instead it is

    assertive in which I value respect and honesty to express myself more effectively with

    confidence. The characteristics of a nurse that I have envision myself as would have the traits

    of being wise, calm, and collected in every situation that I may encountered. I picture myself

    caring for the patients with utmost compassion and dedication to my role as a health care

    provider.

    Activity 4

    Research on the communication problems encountered by nurses at their work place.

    Endorsement of patient poses as a method to enhance communication between nurses at their

    work place and it is also referred to as nursing handover, has been defined by Tobiano et al.,

    (2018) as a point in care where the transfer of responsibility and accountability for patient care

    moves from one nurse to another nurse. However, there are some situation wherein nurses

    encountered problems concerning communication in the situation where the nurse doing

    handover or endorsement to another nurse have forgotten to include some of tiny but important

    details to note down. It is a one of the communication problems encountered by both of the nurse

    for the reason that they do not thoroughly check the patient’s medical chart. The prescription

    ordered by attending physician also pose as a problem that nurse may encounter in their work.

    We have a slight knowledge to a doctors illegible handwriting and it pose as a problem to a nurse

    if they are ordered to give a kind of medication to certain patient but unable to decipher the

    doctor’s prescription. Laughable as it may sound but this is a common problem some nurses have

    encountered and it is a serious issue because nurses deal with life, death, and everything in

    between. Therefore, nurses need effective and good communication skills to sincerely

    comprehend the patient’s overall health in order to provide the best possible care to the patients.
