RATIONALE: Effective communication among health care providers and other staff is necessary to ensure patient safety and to promote optimal outcomes. SBAR is an effective communication tool that helps the flow of standardized communication among all health care staff. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. S does not stand for Symptoms or Site. B does not stand for Benefits. A does not stand for Alignment, Agreement, or Assignment. R does not stand for Referral, Resolution, or Reconciliation.

(1) reviewing the patient for any family history of obesity,
(2) assessing the patient by checking body mass index and vital signs,
(3) encouraging the patient to self-explore by collecting information on lifestyle changes,
(4) instructing the patient to perform daily exercise and note the weight changes, and
(5) having the patient review the diet that should be followed after discharge to combat obesity. The first phase of the nurse-patient relationship is the preinteraction phase, which occurs before meeting a patient. This phase involves reviewing available data, including the medical and nursing histories.
The second phase is the orientation phase, which involves assessing the health status of the patient such as body mass index and vital signs.
The third phase is the working phase, which involves problem solving and accomplishing goals. In this stage, the nurse would encourage the patient to self-explore by collecting information on lifestyle changes. This is followed by instructing the patient to perform daily exercises and noting the weight changes. Both of these steps are involved in working phase. The fourth phase is the termination phase, which occurs before ending the relationship. This involves a brief review of the diet that should be followed after discharge to combat obesity.

"I should introduce myself by giving my name and title," "I will avoid referring to patients by diagnosis, room number, or other attributes," and "I should avoid terms such as 'honey,' 'dear,' or 'grandma' while addressing the patients." The nurse should introduce him- or herself by giving his or her name and status, such as nursing student, registered nurse (RN), or licensed practical nurse (LPN). It is important that the nurse avoid referring to patients by diagnosis, room number, or other attributes, because this approach would be demeaning to patients. The nurse should avoid terms of endearment while addressing patients, even with close nurse-patient relationships. Addressing patients by the last name is respectful in most cultures; nurses usually use a patient's last name in an initial interaction and then use the first name if the patient requests it. Using first names is appropriate for infants, young children, and patients who are confused or unconscious, as well as close team members.
