Discussion: Choose one of the discussion
prompts below ~ Ideally, as a class, all questions will be answered as each
covers a different aspect of professional communication. Please read through
each other’s work and respond to at least one of your peers with a scholarly
response.

1. You have just transferred to theICU from
a M/S unit. You notice that the unit seems to face several challenges because
of ineffective communication. Unit morale is down. Both nurses and physicians
are under immense stress. You know that high-quality, efficient communication
takes teamwork, dedication, and patience. You set out to make a difference in
your new place of work.

The Johari window is a metaphor often
utilized to help create awareness and address communication issues. Please
expand on what the Johari window is and how it can be utilized in this
situation.

2. Three types of formal organizational
communication exist: upward, downward, and vertical. Describe each of these
types of communication and provide a workplace example.

3. What are ways to complete the
orientation phase of a nurse-patient relationship in one acute-care shift?
(Keep in mind the difference between social and professional relationships)

4. Perform an Internet or library search
using “communication AND hospital errors” as key words. Create a summary of one
scholarly article that you found interesting.

5. Discuss ways to demonstrate caring with
one’s patients. How can a nurse be sensitive to a patient’s personal needs
while still being professional and efficient? (Keep in mind the priniciples for
determining professional boundaries)

6. Discuss the communication theory~ based
on this, identify the communication style in these examples:

(1) “That must be horrible.”

(2) “Could you rephrase your last comment?”

(3) “Dr. Smith does lots of surgeries; I’m
sure you will be OK.”

(4) “I lost my mother, too; I know how you
feel.”

(5) “This was not what you expected to
happen and is likely causing you many emotions.”

(6) “Many people have been through this and
returned to normal.”

(7) “This must be disappointing.”

(8) “Oh, you are not hungry.”

(9) “Things will get better soon.”

(10) “I don’t think that question is
relevant to your care. Let’s focus on you….”

7. In what ways is the collaborative
process similar to the nursing process?
