  • Key elements include sharing information, ideas, and feelings.
  • The sender is the person sharing the message.
  • The recipient is the person receiving and interpreting the message.
  • The transaction is the way the message is delivered and the factors influencing the context and environment of communication.

Types of Communication

  • Verbal Communication: Uses spoken words, sounds, vocal intonation, pace, and can take place in groups, one-on-one, or via video conferencing or phone.
  • Nonverbal Communication: Often more frequently used than verbal communication, it employs facial expressions, eye contact, gestures, body position, and movements. Nonverbal communication can reinforce or contradict verbal communication.
  • Written Communication: This involves using written words, symbols, pictures, and diagrams. This can be formal, like letters and papers, or informal, like texts and social media posts.

Professional Communication

Critical Reading

  • Critical reading involves thinking critically about the text and its content.
  • It requires evaluation of the source's quality, reliability, and effectiveness.
  • Understanding how the text relates to the learning context (e.g., clinical practice) is important.

  • Information literacy is important for nurses as it involves efficiently evaluating different types of knowledge.
  • This includes the skill to find, understand, assess, and use information effectively for nursing practice.
  • It requires being able to determine if the information is high-quality, reliable, and relevant.

Researching

  • Knowing how to search databases for relevant information is important.
