Review the situation
Read who you are speaking with, what they said, and the communication behaviors to practice.
Patient communication role-play
Practice the conversation before it happens.
Choose a fictional patient or healthcare-team situation, answer aloud in your own words, and review focused feedback. Repeat the role-play as often as you need.
How role-play works
Build confidence through deliberate repetition.
Respond by voice
Answer naturally rather than memorizing a script. Use fictional details and stop whenever you are finished.
Review and repeat
Check the transcript, feedback, and one possible response, then retry using language that still feels like your own.
Role-play library
From everyday questions to team safety.
Medication and discharge questions
Use plain language, organize next steps, invite questions, and check understanding without inventing clinical facts.
Frustration, anxiety, and grief
Acknowledge emotion, avoid false reassurance, and identify an appropriate immediate next step.
Escalation and clinical teamwork
State observations clearly, request action, and close the loop while remaining within the fictional communication task.
The complete library contains 36 scenarios across six tiers. See the nursing communication practice overview or learn about therapeutic communication practice.
Privacy and safety
Keep every role-play fictional.
Never submit a patient name, medical-record detail, or identifying health information. MoveLuma is educational communication practice, not medical advice, clinical decision support, professional supervision, or an accredited assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Patient communication role-play questions
Do I need another person for the role-play?
No. MoveLuma provides the fictional prompt, records your spoken response in the browser, and returns a transcript and AI-generated communication feedback.
Are the scenarios based on real patients?
No. The scenarios use fictional people and generalized communication situations. Learners must not add identifying patient information.
Can I repeat a role-play?
Yes. Repetition is central to the experience. You can review one possible response after an attempt and then try the conversation again.
