    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.
