Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Multiple studies have pinpointed miscommunication as a major causative agent in sentinel events, that is, errors resulting in unnecessary death and serious injury. Miscommunication is the root cause in nearly 70 of sentinel events.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Standardization of communication is an effective tool to avoid incomplete or misleading messages. Standardization needs 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.
