Kodynamic Listening In Health Care

In the health care profession effective communication is an essential aspect of the nurse-client relationship. Throw-out this piece the author will discuss and give examples of listening responses that can be implemented in nurse-client communication. It will also describe and give further examples of communication strategies which are used to facilitate conversations with clients while acknowledging their barriers to communication.

Efficient communication between nurse and client can result in improved health outcomes and client satisfaction (Arnold and Boggs, 2011). To make nurse-client interactions meaningful and clear, active listening strategies need to be implemented including verbal and nonverbal responses (Arnold and Boggs, 2011).
