THE GREAT QUESTIONS SERIES

Great Questions For Nurses To Personally Engage Patients

A critical key for patients to feel that their clinical healthcare was given with high-quality or not, comes through the heart of the caregiver. Did the nurse, therapist, or physician approach and communicate in a personal and compassionate way? "Do they even care about me?"

Some providers are very comfortable with initiating conversations, many others are not. They have so many intellectual responsibilities in the quality of caregiving, they struggle to also give give from their hearts.

The goal of this little book is to provide a huge digest of questions that can be used as 'ice breakers' that build trust and rapport. But also questions to use in deepening connection and engagement with patients and their families. Whether the clinician works in a private clinic, outpatient or inpatient hospital settings, there are questions that will resonate with all readers.
