Seminar, 1 credit

This course focuses on effective communication with the older adult. While it is generally agreed that the ability to communicate is an essential ingredient of being with others, age-related changes often interfere with the process. The nurse needs to learn not only to communicate effectively with the older adult on a one to one basis, but also needs to understand the benefits of group communications to the psychosocial well being of the older adult. In addition, this course emphasizes the importance of effective communication and leadership skills with co-workers in long term care settings.
