Which of the following is NOT listed among the Relational Competencies?

• A. Communication skills
• B. Handling conflict
• C. Teamwork
• D. Clinical documentation

Answer: (D)

Relational competencies center on how you interact with others in care settings. Communication skills enable clear, respectful exchanges with patients and team members. Handling conflict covers de-escalation and negotiation when disagreements arise. Teamwork focuses on coordinating with colleagues to achieve shared patient-care goals. Clinical documentation, while crucial for safety and continuity of care, is primarily a technical task about recording information, standards, and privacy rather than an interpersonal interaction. So, clinical documentation isn’t categorized as a relational competency.
