Communication, or the lack of effective communication, is a leading cause for medical errors in hospitals.
loris [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When you don't explain clearly, or instruct direction clearly, the doctors might get confused, and not know what to do. When you have an emergency patient, you need to explain EVERY single thing you witnessed and encountered. When you don't explain exactly what happened in the ambulance, or when the guardian tells a lie, the patient is in danger.  You can't be lazy, you have to work hard and be on your toes every time.
