Adaptation of behavior to accommodate differences in communication is effective because it is less difficult for the nurse to adapt to differences in communication,as with the use of an interpreter.Identifying and clarifying confusion prevents misinterpretation during the interaction.Recognizing differences in communication style is correct,but assisting the client to change to the communication style of the nurse is incorrect.Using a limited number of slang words indicates that some slang terms are acceptable;however,no slang terms should be used because these may block communication.
