CRITICAL THINKING EXERCISE 3
Techniques for appropriate communication are important, but knowing yourself is equally important-your beliefs, your culture, your biases. Patients have to quickly establish rapport with you as a health care professional, and you need to make sure that you can adequately meet their needs in a nonjudgmental way. Negative facial expression or other negative nonverbal messages can break communication and shatter the rapport you have established. By knowing yourself and your personal biases, you may be able to control your nonverbal expressions. Most people have beliefs about subjects like teen pregnancy, alcohol or illicit drug use, and homosexuality. Awareness of personal prejudices can help you maintain neutrality when faced with difficult patient situations. Answer the following questions or complete the following statements openly and honestly without editing your thoughts in an effort to get to know yourself better.
