Answer to Question 1

D
Although the nurse is accountable to the health care provider, the agency, the patient, and the profession, the duty of care is owed to the patient.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E, G
Feedback, transmission, sender, receiver, and context are the five elements that must be in place for communication to occur. The sender transmits the message to the receiver, resulting in feedback between them. The context, or setting, is where the communication takes place. Clarification and focusing are types of therapeutic communication.
