nonverbal communication, also known as body language. It often
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\

|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the patient is saying verbally. For example, a nurse asks the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
patient, "How do you feel today?" The patient responds, "I feel all
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
