1.Strategies that I could implement in this situation is to use non-verbal behaviors to show that I am here to listen to him, as non-verbal behaviors such as posture, eye contact, and body language “reflect a person’s degree of attending” (Pollard & Jakubec, 2023, p. 134). Ask open-ended questions, as “open-ended question prompt a conversation because they can’t be answered with one-word answers” (Cates, 2020). Asking questions that allow more than just the simple “yes” or “no” invites for more information about themselves to be said, and formulations of plans for their treatment can be started. When the patient wants to speak, I will allow for him to speak without no interruptions, as well as repeating it back (when necessary) to be able to understand fully. This pertains to being genuine, and genuineness is “conveyed by listening to and communicating with patients without distorting their messages and being clear and concrete in communications” (Pollard & Jakubec, 2023, p. 133). I would be empathetic towards him during our conversation because empathy can tell my patient that I am trying to sense the emotion, be aware of the situation, and recognize how it is from their perspective. I would simply let him know that I am willing to work with him, and that I will be attentive all throughout. The most important strategy to also implement along with the others is to not judge what is being said, as this tells my patient that he should not trust me. A nurse should “guard against using their own value systems to judge patients’ thoughts, feelings, or behaviors” (Pollard & Jakubec, 2023, 134). Not introducing these strategies into this situation can mean that the nurse-patient relationship that is just beginning, will come to an end very quickly.

2. I could use the following strategies in this situation. I would let him know that I will be around if he changes his mind and will check back with him after lunch. I would then start popping in throughout my day and attempt to build a rapport with him. Begin by asking him questions about things I see him doing, a book he is reading, the kind of music he is listening to, the game he is playing on his phone, and what he is thinking about. I would let him know that if he wants to talk, I am available to him, and that anything that is said will remain confidential and will not be shared with his parents. This will help me gather further data about him, hopefully making him feel more comfortable with me. Â
