Nursing health care

Introduction

The reflective essay I am writing is about communication between patients and health care facilitators, as to how they can take care of the patient and what role does communication plays in it.

The incident

The patient, who was admitted to the hospital for the treatment of tumour, was not able to speak English at all. Within no time we managed to find a health professional within the hospital that was not able to communicate with the patient. When the cancer patient arrived, she was able to convey her needs and preferences. It was then decided that the patient can note the records as well as make a list of all the details and keep it on the table which was kept beside her for a more focused care.
