In “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop, the narrator attempts to understand the relationship between humans and nature and finds herself concluding that they are intertwined due to humans’ underlying need to take away from nature, whether through the act of poetic imagination or through the exploitation and contamination of nature. Bishop’s view of nature changes from one where it is an unknown, mysterious, and fearful presence that is antagonistic, to one that characterizes nature as being resilient when faced against harm and often victimized by people. Mary Oliver’s poem also titled “The Fish” offers a response to Bishop’s idea that people are harming nature, by providing another reason as to why people are harming nature, which is due to how people are unable to view nature as something that exists and goes beyond the purpose of serving human needs and offers a different interpretation of the relationship between man and nature. Oliver believes that nature serves as subsidence for humans, both physically and spiritually. Unlike Bishop who finds peace through understanding her role in nature’s plight and acceptance at the merging between the natural and human worlds, Oliver finds that through the literal act of consuming nature can she obtain a form of empowerment that allows her to become one with nature.

As a result, for effective clinical practice, critical information MUST be passed on with complete accuracy. According to Rosenstein & O’Daniel 2008, some of the obstacles to Interprofessional Collaboration and Communication include Gender, hierarchy, differences in languages and jargon, the diverse levels of preparation, qualifications and status, the complexity of the care, the historical Interprofessional and Interprofessional contentions, differences in professional routines and agenda, the emphasis on quick decision-making, the fear of diluting one’s professional identity among others. Additionally, those who have the most barriers tend to be physicians and nurses. Despite their numerous interactions in one day, they have differing perceptions about their responsibilities and roles concerning the requirements the patient may have so they end up having different goals for the patient. Due to the ethnic diversity
The problem of poor communication stems from an environment of high stress levels. After a consulting company scrutinized processes throughout the hospital related to care coordination and patient flow, the evidence was clear. The company identified areas for improvement around communication at many different levels. In order for patients to have a seamless transition from admission to discharge, the lines of communication needed to change. Daily face-to-face meetings were productive for the staff, hospital and overall satisfaction. The consulting firm worked for the hospital for several months, but as they departed, the prior culture of poor communication started to engulf...
The health care provider should ensure that they communicate effectively with the patient/client.
Communication encompasses a wide range of processes such as the exchange of information, listening, posing of questions (Fleischer et al., 2009) or use of body language. In a healthcare environment where there are constant interactions among nurses, doctors, patients and other health professionals, professional and effective communication is important in ensuring high quality healthcare standards and meeting the individual needs of patients.
This relationship can be classified at StaR. Within this relationship, patient and nurse are both able to “offer different perspectives and considerations about the illness” (Nelson, Batalden, Godfrey, & Lazar, 2011). Since the patients and nurses do not have similar training and knowledge there is a lot of knowledge to be shared between them. Talking is one of the main ways to communicate. Just as there needs to be time for a patient and their doctor to talk as previously mention, there also needs to be time for the patient and nurse to sit down and talk and listen to what is being said. Sometimes today there is such a rush to get things done that this concept of talking and really listening is usually glossed right over. In this relationship there may be

Each interview had its own take on the central topic of improved communication and patient satisfaction. Improved communication skills and techniques, identified as a fundamental driver in all participant interviews, are key to a more effective and collaborative health care system, from patient through physician and administrator. The ideal health care system seeks to involve all players acting in harmony for a healthier patient/customer and society. Consequently, if everyone is responsible for taking the time to communicate and inform the patients, no one is ultimately responsible. Little or nothing seems to get passed on to the patients and their families with everyone being responsible (doctors and nurses), and no one is left to be accountable
