@NSG1101 A masters degree is required for occupation therapist programs, you need to pass the occupation therapy registered exam to get your license. The role of the occupational therapist is to treat injured, ill or disabled patients to help maintain daily activity.
@NSG1101 Therapeutic communication is actively listening. You want to patient to feel like they are being heard, advocated for, and thoroughly cared for. You never want your patient to be left wondering if you were listening to them.
@NSG1101 Using judgement phrases or questions is not something you should do. It could make the patient feel attacked or defensive because they could be offended. The patient might also feel like they can’t voice their concerns to the nurse.
