Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Nursing programs teach therapeutic communications with patients and their families. Little focus, however, is placed on effective communication in the workplace, although communication is essential to building and maintaining smoothly functioning teams.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When team communication is dominated by a few members, leaving others uninvolved or bored, disagreement is not expressed openly. As a result, team members stuff their feelings and wait until after meetings to voice their opinions.
