Professional encounter that you had with a patient

  Reflect on a professional encounter that you had with a patient. • Describe the encounter. • Describe the communication strategies used and identify the effectiveness of those strategies in that situation. • Based on evidence, how helpful were those strategies? • Describe how you knew whether they were effective or not. • Critique the experience for barriers encountered both from the patient perspective and yours (the provider). • And finally, if you could do it again, what other or different strategies of communication might you have used? Why?
