Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Therapeutic communication is defined as a dynamic interactive process consisting of words and actions and entered into by a clinician and client for the purpose of achieving identified health-related goals. Originally conceptualized by Jurgen Ruesch in 1961, communication skills are essential drivers for developing therapeutic relationships and facilitating interdisciplinary collaborative communication with clients and families. Fundamental forms of health communication include verbal and written words and nonverbal communicative behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Changes in communication to reduce errors and increase safety need to be institutionalized at the system level and implemented consistently at the staff level. Safe communication about client care matters needs to be clear, unambiguous, timely, accurate, complete, open, and understood by the recipient to reduce errors. Safe communication about client matters should be clear, not vague.
