Reflect on personal issues that may help and hinder your interactions with patients. Based on the character that
you chose in Part A of the assignment, think of how you would interact as a nurse in a therapeutic relationship
with the character. Think of how you would interact with the patient if the patient were a family member or
friend.
Your assignment:
Create two scripts of conversations between you and the patient:
Script 1 = Therapeutic Conversation and Script 2 = Social Conversation.
In the therapeutic conversation, you are the nurse and the character is the patient. A complete assignment
includes the orientation, working and termination phases. Please ensure these phases are highlighted in blue.
Highlight the communication techniques used in yellow. Please see example below.
In the social conversation, you are a friend or family member and the character is the patient. A complete
assignment provides support with the ultimate goal of bringing the patient to an appropriate health care
provider.
Each script is at least 2 pages typed.
