Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Diagonal communication involves dialogue among individuals at different hierarchical levels
(e.g., staff nurses to chief executive officer of nursing). Lateral communication involves
discussion among individuals at the same hierarchical level (e.g., all nurse supervisors).
Downward communication involves direction giving from management to the staff. Grapevine
communication is an informal channel among individuals at all hierarchical levels and has the
potential for the generation of misinformation.
