Study Notes
Communicating with Patients Experiencing Communication Deficits
- Use a normal speaking volume when addressing blind patients; avoid raising your voice unnecessarily.
- Maintain a natural tone throughout the conversation to create a comfortable atmosphere.
- Always explain procedures and situations in simple terms, even if the patient seems unable to comprehend fully.
- Incorporate touch, gestures, and eye movements to enhance understanding and engagement.
Impact of Speech Deficits
- Speech deficits can arise from neurological trauma, affecting a patient's ability to communicate effectively.
- Patients who cannot speak due to temporary conditions like intubation or reliance on ventilators often experience significant emotional distress, including frustration, anxiety, or panic.
Support During Communication
- Provide compensatory support when patients pause during communication, whether written or oral, to facilitate conversation and alleviate anxiety.
