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.
