Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, F
Barriers to communication are important for nurses to be aware of especially when they are encountered in practice. Nine potential barriers to communication have been noted by Ruthman (2008). These barriers are: 1) stereotyping; 2) inattention; 3) stress; 4) giving advice; 5) incongruent responses; 6) unclear expectations; 7) interrupting; 8) being defensive; and 9) offering false reassurance.

Answer to Question 2

D
Three areas that those who are preparing to take the NCLEX-RN exam should focus on for their
review are NCLEX knowledge review, NCLEX test question practice, and test anxiety control.
Reviewing or rereading all of your nursing texts is time consuming and will not help to focus upon
critical areas found in the exam.
