1 Uses verbal communication appropriate to
situation and to the client, caregiver, family, etc.
Communication
A You have done a great job with this client and
her caregiver who present some real
challenges to effective communication. You
are very skilled, you have impressive clinical
reasoning. It would benefit you to do some
work around communication skills to increase
your effectiveness and confidence to deal with

situations like this. I highly recommend

reading “Crucial Conversations: Tools for
talking when the stakes are high”. It has
helped me a great deal over the years and I re-
read it every once in a while in order to keep
up my skills in this area.

Additional Comments:

It has been fun to watch you grow and change during this experience. You have always had good ideas, and your
reasoning has always been on point. What I have seen is you getting to see how to translate that knowledge and
change your plans based on factors in the actual treatment environment. Well done.
