Therapeutic communication is a purposeful interaction that focuses on advancing the physical and emotional well-being of the patient. A key component is the use of open-ended questions, which encourage patients to express themselves in detail rather than giving simple 'yes' or 'no' answers. This technique helps nurses gather comprehensive information, understand patient perspectives, and build a trusting relationship.
