"Creative and Informative are ways I use to communicate every day."

When I am at work and at home I use both creative and informative ways of communication to speak to my patients and to my family. When we receive a new patient on our floor there are many safety issues that have to be understood by the patient. The way I inform the patient can vary drastically, depending on their ability to understand and their activity level. This is where I have to become creative since the safety issues still have to be present regardless of how I get the patient to understand. At home I use this same technique when dealing with my children, while explaining homework, a family dilemma, and acceptable behaviour. It is interesting to analyze how the same creativity can be used in both instances. I am always having to use different ways to inform the people around me of many things and enjoy using my creative side to figure these techniques out.
