participants. Which term should the nurse use to describe this belief?
a. Critical thinking
b. Authentic
c. Mutuality
d. Attend
ANS: C
Effective interpersonal communication requires a sense of mutuality, a belief that the nurse-
patient relationship is a partnership and that both are equal participants. Critical thinking
in nursing, based on established standards of nursing care and ethical standards,
promotes effective communication and uses standards such as humility, self-confidence,
independent attitude, and fairness. To be authentic (one’s self) and to respond
appropriately to the other person are important for interpersonal relationships but do not
mean mutuality. Attending is giving all of your attention to the patient.
