Title: Discussion 1 - Non verbal body language
Course: PHT 1200C Basic Patient Care > Section: Module 1

Many of us display non-verbal body language that can be perceived by others as negative. For this discussion, describe the various forms of non-verbal communication that you have observed when interacting with others that made you feel uncomfortable. Do you display these behaviors at times yourself? Include in your discussion areas you may feel you need to improve upon to facilitate the most positive communication with your patients.
