8 Things You Should Never Say To A Patient

ProNurse

We as nurses don’t get to choose our patients and we can end up with a wide range of patients in our care. Some will be demanding and have us running round in circles while others will be the complete opposite.

We may instantly connect with certain patients because they remind us of our friends and family or because we can empathise with them over certain issues.

In truth all patients are a priority and should be treated with the same respect as we would want to be treated ourselves. We are there to care for them and we are the ‘’Patients Advocate’’.

Some patients will find it daunting to be in a hospital setting and they will be anxious, worried and uncomfortable. Patient care requires clinical professionalism and good communication at all times.

Good communication doesn’t necessarily mean you open up and tell your patients all. While transparency is important, there are certainly things nurses should never say to their patients. Ever!

To help you keep your patients at ease, ProNurse have come up with 8 things you should never say to them. We’ll also offer suggestions for what to say instead.
