This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: • How to identify and avoid the most common non-therapeutic communication traps on the NCLEX, such as false reassurance and giving unsolicited advice. • The application of the 'OARS' mnemonic which stands for Open-ended questions, Affirmations, Reflective listening, and Summarizing. • Why reflective statements that validate a patient's feelings are almost always the correct answer over responses that offer immediate solutions. • The critical difference in communication strategies for patients in crisis or those with cognitive impairments, prioritizing safety and validation. • The absolute rule for communicating across language barriers which is using a professional medical interpreter instead of family members.
