Reflection: How Did You Meet This Standard? I met this standard by working on proper communication with people in my daily life. At first I thought of it in relation to medicine, but I realized it is important in areas we don't notice as well. So not only in class, but outside of class I was pacticing good communication. By doing so, I could see how it actually worked. Effective communication is very important an a key figure to healthcare. How Does The Standard Have Real-World Application? This standard has real-world application because not only in the medical feild, but everywhere you go. It is a common expectation that people can effectively and respectfully communicate. Because of cell phones especially, people are often too distracted to listen or even make eye contact in a conversation. Not only is it rude, but important "need-to-know" information could be missed. What Are Your Future Learning Goals Related To This Standard? This standard has inspired me to further discover how commintcating responsibly and clearly is crucial. I actaully started paying better attention when my mom spoke. I also show her by nodding my head and asking questions like we learned in class. I now do that most of the time and there really is a difference in the way she responds, more positively and her manner changes as well. Concise communicating is beneficia to all parties involved.
