 4TH MEETING
Patients in hospital are usually anxious and fearful. It is important that
hospital and staff put them and ease them by being polite and pleasant.

Good communication skills using polite requests are needed in the nurse-
patient relationship
A request is when we ask someone for something. Since we are
asking someone for something or to do something, it is important to
be polite
We must avoid being too direct.
Here are examples of being too direct:
“sit down”
“stand up”
“can you open your mouth?”
These questions are all correct English but they are too direct. These
are not polite requests. They are in fact quite rude. People will be
offended (tersinggung) because they will think that you are giving
them orders.
 4TH MEETING

In this section of English lesson, you will learn

several methods to make a polite request.
The following drills teach you polite form in
English. Be careful about the way your voice
rises and falls when you say these sentences.
To make an instruction sound polite (request) we
can add please at the beginning or at the end of
the instruction​or other polite phrase that we can
add to make the instruction/ command become
polite request
