CLARIFICATION
Clarification is attempting to put into words vague ideas or unclear thoughts of the patient to enhance the nurse's understanding,or asking the patient to explain what he or she means.This may help to clarify the patient's feelings,ideas,and perceptions,and may provide an explicit correlation between them and the patient's actions.
