Nurses are no strangers to answering a lot of questions. Patients and their loved ones often have many questions regarding their health, current situation, and even just basics about the facility that they’re in. The most important thing that a nurse can do is listen, answer as fully and honestly as possible, and also maintain a positive attitude at the same time.
Answering patients can help put them ease, which is beneficial for everyone. When a nurse in not clear about the answer, they should be honest about that, too. Always show compassion and strive to provide the best possible information to patients and their loved ones.
