The
ELEMENTS
Boundaries
Boundaries are integral part of the nurseclient relationship. They represent invisible
structures imposed by legal, ethical, and
professional standards of nursing that
respect the rights of nurses and clients.
These boundaries ensure that the focus of
the relationship remains on the clients
needs, not only by word but also by law.

10 Tips to Improve
Communication Skills
1. Speak slowly
Certain words sound very similar to
one another if they are spoken very
quickly. Take the time to speak slowly and
carefully, and your words may be less
likely to be mistaken by others.
6. Reflect
To make sure that the communication is
flowing, learn the simple trick of reflecting
on what the person is saying to you. To do
so, you simply repeat what has been said
in your own words, back to the person. If
you are wrong, the person can say so
before you walk away.

2. Educate
Patients trust us, along with their
physicians, to be their educators. They
want to understand their treatment
options and disease consequences. It is
important for them to have an
understanding of the healing process so
that they can make educated choices.
4. Follow through
To build credibility. It is essential to
follow through with what you say you are
going to do. For instance, if you tell your
patient that you are going to call her with
a list of diabetic educators, do it! This
shows that you care and that you can be
trusted.
7. Listen Actively
Active listening is important in any
partnership and/or relationship. But when
discussing treatment options or plans of
care, listen actively to your patient by
providing eye contact and/or by
responding to their comments. This
demonstrate appreciation and value.
