Tnecessary actions needed. Such communication will allow not only the patient to fully understand the circumstances of their condition, but also allow the physician to understand the patient.

The patient will no longer simply hear the doctor’s orders; they will understand them and understand what factors lead to that decision. Research has consistently demonstrated that patients ' understanding of their conditions and treatments is positively related to adherence, and that adherence, satisfaction, recall, and understanding are all related to the amount and type of information given”, an essential factor in ensuring compliance is understanding (Atreja, Bellam, & Levy, 2005). Once the patient has understood options presented by the doctor, the patient alongside the physician is able to set goals in regards to obtaining health and work collaboratively to achieve
