This book explores how we communicate every day in nursing and midwifery
practice. It focuses on the communication skills needed for the development
of effective and professional therapeutic relationships. The aim is to enable
practitioners to reflect on the effectiveness of their communication skills in practice
and to build on their existing skills. This reflection is encouraged, acknowledging
that practitioners have differing levels of ability and recognising that these abilities
vary according to the situation and the demands made on those involved.

between content knowledge and clinical application. The products within the
series represent the most innovative and comprehensive approach to nursing
case studies ever developed. Each title has been authored by experienced nurse
educators and clinicians who understand the complexity of nursing practice, as
well as the challenges of teaching and learning. All the cases are based on reallife clinical scenarios and demand thought and “action” from the nurse. Each case
brings the user into the clinical setting and invites the user to employ the nursing
process while considering all the variables that influence the client’s condition and
the care to be provided. Each case also represents a unique set of variables, to offer
a breadth of learning experiences and to capture the reality of nursing practice. In
order to gauge the progression of a user’s knowledge and critical thinking ability,
the cases have been categorized by difficulty level.
