Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Communication has two main purposes: to influence others and to obtain information. In this case, the student's purpose is to influence the client to comply with the treatment regimen by educating the client. Making sure the client understood the information is not a purpose of communication but rather an aspect of teaching requiring evaluation of effectiveness. Assuring the message was delivered and obtaining a response are part of the feedback component.

Answer to Question 2

1,3,4
Rationale: Peers and independence become central at this stage.
