Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Feedback is the only way to know that one's perceptions about meanings are valid. Human communication is unique. Only human beings have large vocabularies and are capable of learning new languages as a means of sharing their ideas and feelings. Communication includes language, gestures, and symbols to convey intended meaning, exchange ideas and feelings, and to share significant life experience. To encode a message appropriately requires a clear understanding of the receiver's mental frame of reference (e.g., feelings, personal agendas, past experiences) and knowledge of its purpose or intent of the communication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Abraham Maslow's needs theory is a framework that nurses use to prioritize client needs and develop relevant nursing approaches. Maslow's model proposes that people are motivated to meet their needs in an ascending order beginning with meeting basic survival needs. As essential needs are satisfied, people move into higher psychosocial areas of development.
