Acute Care Faculty Series: Delivering Bad News (S11 Ep. 71)

  • Summary

  • Welcome back to The Peds NP Acute Care Faculty series! This collaborative series was created and peer-reviewed by national experts and leaders in acute care PNP education. In the push for competency-based education where faculty verify the skills of what a learner can do, rather than their knowledge, our series focuses on the application of didactic content with a practical approach in a conversational way so that you can learn the nuances of clinical skills before you reach the bedside.

    This episode discusses a standardized approach to delivering bad news, founded in the literature. The SPIKES protocol is the most well recognized approach to create an environment, assess patient and family knowledge and preferences, deliver the news compassionately, and empathize prior to a summary. With examples of phrasing you can offer at each step, you’ll gain the skills necessary to deliver bad news.
