medical history & background, current signs or symptoms, cause of injury, social work needs,

implement the best plan of care; as well as meeting with staff and management for assignment
information and department needs.
2. Percent Time
Communication of some kind is used 100% throughout my day. If I am not communicating with
others I am communicating with myself. ;) I know that might sound a little weird, however there

50% of the day. I am constantly questioning myself about any and every decision I am thinking
about making or have made. Every morning I uplift, motive, and encourage myself with self-talk
about making the day a great day, full of positivity no matter what happens. Dyadic
communication is used about 75% of my day as I share my thoughts, personal views or feelings
with my husband or close family members and friends. This level of communication to me is up,
