Limmer O’Keefe ••Grant • Murray • Bergeron • Dickinson Copyright ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. What Is Communication? • Emergencies are stressful situations for the patient, family members, and bystanders. • How you relay information will leave a big impression, not only of yourself, but of your department and profession. Emergency Medical Responder: First on Scene, Ninth Edition Emergency Care, Twelfth Edition Le •Baudour Bergeron • Wesley Daniel J. Limmer O’Keefe ••Grant • Murray • Bergeron • Dickinson Copyright ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.
