Critical thinkers use language precisely and clearly. When language is unclear and inaccurate, it reflects sloppy thinking. It is important to communicate clearly with patients, their families, and health care professionals. When you use incorrect terminology, jargon or terminology with which a patient is unfamiliar, or vague descriptions, communication is ineffective.
