Communication Mr. Simpson is a 78-year-old patient whose wife died last year. He has been living alone. He has limited cooking skills; thus he eats out a lot. Since his wife died, his blood sugar has been poorly controlled. To help Mr. Simpson gain better blood sugar control, the dietitian came to see him. After she left, Mr. Simpson was angry and stated his desire to leave the hospital right now. He stated, “That diet person came to see me, and she doesn't know anything.” 1. How would you approach Mr. Simpson? Which communication techniques would you use and which would you avoid? 2. You talk with the dietitian and learn that she gave the patient information about his diet and recipes that he could try. As you talk further with Mr. Simpson, you learn that the physician told him he might not be able to live alone anymore. You realize that he doesn't know how to cook. Knowing this, how would you respond to him? 3. After talking with Mr. Simpson, you determine that he is able to care for himself at home but will need some assistance. He is willing to consider various options for meal preparation. You call the physician to discuss this. Your hospital has established SBAR (Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation) as a standard communication tool. How do you effectively communicate your concerns and the patient's need to the physician using SBAR?
