Answer to Question 1

1,2
Rationale 1: Saying Here are your directions alerts the assistant that an important statement is going to be made. The instructions are clear and concise.
Rationale 2: This is a clear and concise set of instructions.
Rationale 3: This direction is not clear. Does the nurse want the clients whose rooms are on the south wing ambulated? Or does the nurse want all ambulation to occur on the south wing today?
Rationale 4: This instruction is ambiguous. If the nurse would like for certain clients to have their hair shampooed today, the nurse should indicate that more clearly.
Rationale 5: The nurse should be clear regarding what should be done before instruction is provided.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Just because this child is adopted does not mean that the admission history will not be correct or that communication with the child or parents will be impaired.
Rationale 2: Just because a person is older does not mean that communication is impaired.
Rationale 3: Just because the person is from another country does not mean that communication will be distorted.
Rationale 4: Communication will be most affected by the confusion of the client because the nurse cannot be sure of anything the client said or that the client understood anything the nurse tried to communicate.
