Place Your OrderFace to face communication or conversation with the people is called verbal communication. Verbal communication includes speaking, words and sounds. To effectively communicate the tone of voice, pitch verbally, and volume are used (Cooren, 2016).
On the other hand, non-verbal communication does not include sounds, speaking, and words. It includes facial expression, movement of the body, gesture, touch, and any other action without speaking (Lemonnier, 2016). Therefore, the main difference between the both is sound. Verbal communication includes sounds while non-verbal does not include sound.

Answer5 (b)
In order to address constraints of effective communication one should listen properly. If the audiences are listening properly to the speaker, they will be involved in the communication actively, and hence there would not be any problem in effective communication. The speaker should avoid jargon. It will make the audiences understand the message delivered by the speaker and audiences will pay attention to the communication (Silverman et al., 2016). The speaker should also be aware of the cultural differences. It will also increase the effectiveness of the communication because no one will complain about anything like sentiment hurt. Effective communication channel should be used by the speaker to deliver the message. All these measures will help in addressing the constraints of the effective communication.

Many times any of the medical professional breaches the code of conduct or standard procedure which impacts the employees in several ways. Such type of issues can be raised in the organization formally or informally. Depending on the nature of issue we can use formal approach or informal approach to raise the issue. But if a supervisor breaches to the standard procedures it will impact the employees or subordinates significantly, therefore, it should be raised through formal approach. First of all the medical professional should identify the main issues and document the issue. After that, he/she should consult with the colleagues on the matters and take their consent. After taking consent of the colleagues, the written document should be forwarded to the management of the organization (Mikkelsen and Clegg, 2017).
Answer8
In order to resolve the conflict in the workplace first of all the matter of disagreement should be clarified. After identifying or clarifying the matter of concern, the management should identify the involved parties in the conflict, and it should set a common goal for both the parties involved in the conflict. Then the management should conduct a meeting with both the parties to discuss ways to achieve the common goal. The management then should determine the barrier to achieving the common goal. After that, the management should identify the best way among all the ways discussed in the meeting to resolve the conflict. After resolving the solution, the management should clearly define the responsibility of each party on the agreed solution of the conflict (Mikkelsen and Clegg, 2017).
Once there was a conflict between the supervisor and the team member in the process of accomplishing a set target. The supervisor was stressing on his process while team members were not ready to work on that process. They raised the issue to the management to resolve the conflict. The management conducted a meeting with both the parties and discussed the benefits and disadvantages of the processes stated by both the parties. After discussion, the management decided to follow the process of the team members based on the benefits of the process and both the parties followed the same.
