Therapeutic Relationship
How does communication contribute to a holistic plan of care?
Communication contributes to the holistic plan of care by creating an opportunity for full interaction between the patient and medical personnel. This occurs through incorporating the processes and constructs of therapeutic care within a framework that acknowledges the energetic, spiritual and infinite nature of being as well as the importance of intuition, transcendence, self-knowledge, and intention in therapeutic interactions (Dayer-Berenson, 2011).
How is the knowledge of the therapeutic relationship an essential component of health promotion?
Knowledge of the therapeutic relationship is an essential component of health promotion by facilitating the development of the positive and favorable interactions between the medical personnel and their patients. In fact, medical personnel must have the capacity to therapeutically engage with their patients to promote health and improve health-related outcomes. This is achieved by having knowledge of the therapeutic relationship to encompass nonjudgmental, supportive, and caring behavior that is entrenched in a safe environment (Dayer-Berenson, 2011).
What is the role of technology in communication today?
Technology has become a necessity for communication. That is because people communicate through devices today which include mobile phones and computers. The role of technology is expected to become more critical in the future even as emerging technologies are presented to change how communication occurs (Dayer-Berenson, 2011).

What are your thoughts on electronic/technology and communication?
I think it is important to embrace technology in communication since it eases and facilitates the whole process. In fact, technology has become essential for communication since it disregards distance to enable instant commination exchange. For instance, an individual in New York can instantaneously communicate with another individual in Hong Kong through phones and video conferences to mimic a face-to-face interaction.
What is the nursing code of ethics?
The nursing code of ethics refers to a set of professional principles prepared through consensus and presented to guide nursing practice. The code is intended to guarantee that nursing practice is above board and does not intentionally harm the patients. The code’s application is policed by professional nursing bodies that represent the nurses and have the legal authority to regulate nursing practice (Dayer-Berenson, 2011).
What evidence is there that supports the need for consideration of ethics in contemporary issues of health promotion?
Consideration of ethics is important because it ensures that the public rights are protected in all instances. The code acts as a guide in ensuring that all personal rights are protected (Dayer-Berenson, 2011). For instance, the first provision in the code calls for nurses to respect the dignity of their patients to imply that all patients should be treated with the same high level of respect irrespective of social standing.
