Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
These statements about assertive communication outcomes are correct. Assertive communication in the nursing workplace does not enmesh the person and the issue; assertiveness separates the person and the issue. Assertive communication allows the nurse to focus on the patient's needs rather than being inner focused. Assertive communication does not guarantee that the user will get his or her own way; instead, it guarantees that the user will feel in control of emotions and responses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nonassertive (passive), fear-based behavior is an emotionally dishonest, self-defeating type of behavior. Nonassertive nurses attempt to look the other way, avoid conflict, and take what seems to be the easiest way out; they are never full participants on the nursing team. Nonassertive individuals do not express feelings, needs, and ideas when their rights are infringed upon, deliberately or accidentally. Responding to the patient's questions out of fear of not being liked is an example of nonassertive behavior. Assertiveness is a current name for honesty; it is a way to live the truth from one's innermost being and to express this truth in thought, word, and deed. The remaining options are examples of assertive behavior.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
