questions, |and |whenever |the |person |introduces |a |new |topic.

VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-ANS: |D
Address |the |person |by |using |his |or |her |surname. |The |nurse |should |introduce |him |or |herself |and |give |
the |reason |for |the |interview. |Friendly |small |talk |is |not |needed |to |build |rapport.
,The |nurse |is |conducting |an |interview |with |a |woman |who |has |recently |learned |that |she |is |pregnant |
and |who |has |come |to |the |clinic |today |to |begin |prenatal |care. |The |woman |states |that |she |and |her |
husband |are |excited |about |the |pregnancy |but |have |a |few |questions. |She |looks |nervously |at |her |hands
|during |the |interview |and |sighs |loudly. |Considering |the |concept |of |communication, |which |statement |
does |the |nurse |know |to |be |most |accurate? |The |woman |is:
a.Excited |about |her |pregnancy |but |nervous |about |the |labor.
b.Exhibiting |verbal |and |nonverbal |behaviors |that |do |not |match.
c.Excited |about |her |pregnancy, |but |her |husband |is |not |and |this |is |upsetting |to |her.
d.Not |excited |about |her |pregnancy |but |believes |the |nurse |will |negatively |respond |to |her |if |she |states |
this. |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-ANS: |B
Communication |is |all |behaviors, |conscious |and |unconscious, |verbal |and |nonverbal. |All |behaviors |have |
meaning. |Her |behavior |does |not |imply |that |she |is |nervous |about |labor, |upset |by |her |husband, |or |
worried |about |the |nurse's |response.
Receiving |is |a |part |of |the |communication |process. |Which |receiver |is |most |likely |to |misinterpret |a |
message |sent |by |a |health |care |professional?
a.Well-adjusted |adolescent |who |came |in |for |a |sports |physical
b.Recovering |alcoholic |who |came |in |for |a |basic |physical |examination
c.Man |whose |wife |has |just |been |diagnosed |with |lung |cancer
d.Man |with |a |hearing |impairment |who |uses |sign |language |to |communicate |and |who |has |an |
interpreter |with |him |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-ANS: |C
The |receiver |attaches |meaning |determined |by |his |or |her |experiences, |culture, |self-concept, |and |
current |physical |and |emotional |states. |The |man |whose |wife |has |just |been |diagnosed |with |lung |cancer
|may |be |experiencing |emotions |that |affect |his |receiving.
,In |an |interview, |the |nurse |may |find |it |necessary |to |take |notes |to |aid |his |or |her |memory |later. |Which |
statement |is |true |regarding |note-taking?
a. |Note-taking |may |impede |the |nurse's |observation |of |the |patient's |nonverbal |behaviors.
b. |Note-taking |allows |the |patient |to |continue |at |his |or |her |own |pace |as |the |nurse |records |what |is |
said.
c. |Note-taking |allows |the |nurse |to |shift |attention |away |from |the |patient, |resulting |in |an |increased |
comfort |level.
d.Note-taking |allows |the |nurse |to |break |eye |contact |with |the |patient, |which |may |increase |his |or |her |
level |of |comfort. |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-ANS: |A
The |use |of |history |forms |and |note-taking |may |be |unavoidable. |However, |the |nurse |must |be |aware |
that |note-taking |during |the |interview |has |disadvantages. |It |breaks |eye |contact |too |often |and |shifts |
the |attention |away |from |the |patient, |which |diminishes |his |or |her |sense |of |importance. |Note-taking |
may |also |interrupt |the |patient's |narrative |flow, |and |it |impedes |the |observation |of |the |patient's |
nonverbal |behavior.
The |nurse |asks, |"I |would |like |to |ask |you |some |questions |about |your |health |and |your |usual |daily |
activities |so |that |we |can |better |plan |your |stay |here." |This |question |is |found |at |the |__________ |phase |
of |the |interview |process.
