Communication with Cognitively Impaired Clients
Description
Aging, disease processes, and other chronic conditions may lead to cognitive and behavioral changes. This program teaches nursing assistants how to distinguish between delirium and depression and how to effectively communicate with cognitively impaired clients or residents. Through several problem situations, the video instructs nursing assistants in how to assess their own skills as communicators, examine and apply various communication techniques, recognize how changes with aging affect the communication process, improve communication with patients who have suffered a stroke or are confused, and discuss communication skills with terminally ill patients and their families. Ultimately, the degree to which professionals are able communicate effectively determines the quality of care they are able to provide. Designated for 2 contact hours of continuing nursing education.
