Answer to Question 1

A
The receiver interprets the message, infusing it with meaning specific to his/her personal experience. Different receivers may glean various meanings from the same message.

Answer to Question 2

D
If the patient sees the information as being personally valuable, the information is more likely to be learned. If the patient does not think that the content is relevant, learning is not likely to occur. Relevance is determined individually. The nurse must assess the personal meaning of learning content for each patient.
