Communication Issue in Nursing Practice
Aim 
	Communication is a dynamic and complex process, which occurs between the individuals creating their circle. As mentioned by Rogers (2015), communication can be defined as an interaction between the two people, in which they exchange their thoughts or views or express their needs. Communication can be performed verbally or non-verbally either by speaking, active listening or by writing. There are many instances where occurrence of communication issues between nurse and patient can increase the difficulty of nurse in providing quality treatment to the patients. The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of the communication issues on nursing practice. 
Rational 
	Communication is an important part of all the professional practices and is a significant aspect of the nursing profession. It is necessary to understand the importance of communication in nursing profession, as failure of communication can lead to the development of care-related issues in the practice. In nursing profession, nurses communicate with patients, their families, fellow colleagues, doctors and inter-departmental professionals on daily basis. As suggested by Fakhr-Movahedi, Rahnavard, Salsali and Negarandeh (2016), communication between patient and nurse helps in the development of therapeutic relationship between them. According to the NMBA standards, registered nurses must engaged in therapeutic and professional relationships (Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, 2019). 
This leads to the development of trust of the patient towards the nurse and the treatment provided to them. The nurses, who fail to use good communication with their patient, can increase their doubt towards the treatment. Communication issues between patients and nurses can lead to miscommunication whose outcome can be poor quality of treatment of the patient. 
As mentioned by O'Hagan et al. (2014), barriers in the communication between nurses and their patient prevent the patient to express their issues properly. Failure of nurses to understand the need to the patient due to communication issues, such as lack of understanding of the language or dealing with an introvert patient can result in incorrect treatment or poor-quality treatment. As indicated by Fakhr-Movahedi, Rahnavard, Salsali and Negarandeh (2016), the outcome of such a mistreatment can even worsen the condition of the patient. 
Background 
	Nurse-patient communication is a very important part of the nursing profession,
