Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Communication can become distorted, rather than open, when a person is concerned about offending a more powerful individual. Strategies for dealing with disrespectful or disruptive behaviors include: establishing common communication expectations and skills, teaching conflict resolution skills, and creating a culture of mutual respect within the health care system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
Integrity, respect for others, dependability, a good sense of humor, and an openness to sharing with others are communication qualities people look for in developing a support system. An openness to sharing with others, not internalizing, helps promote collegial relationships. Dependability, not dependence, is an interpersonal strategy to use in developing a support system.
