Verbal communication involves using words,either in speaking or in writing,to send messages.For example,a nurse might discuss a client's plan of care with assistive personnel.It is important to remember that both speaking and listening must occur for spoken communication between sender and receiver to take place.In written communication,the person receiving the message must both read and understand the words involved and attach meaning to them.
