1. Statement of Purpose
One of man's greatest needs is the ability to express himself and, in turn, listen to
the expression of others. Successful nurse-patient relationship is based on good
communication. Communication is the means by which a person conveys or shares
feelings, acts or thoughts with another person. It is an exchange of ideas brought
about by verbal or non-verbal behavior. It is the purpose of this module to assist the
student to become aware of the communication process and to help the student
begin to develop skill in interpersonal relationships with patients.

3. Show him that you want to listen. Look and act interested.
7. Hold your temper. An angry person gets the wrong meaning from words.
8. Go easy on criticism. DO NOT ARGUE! This puts the person on the defensive.
9. Ask questions. This shows your interest and helps to develop points further.
10. Stop talking. This is first and last because all other principles depend on it.
Nature gave man two ears but only one tongue, which is a gentle hint that he should listen
more that he talks!
