Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A nurse should not erase, apply correction fluid, or scratch out errors made while recording in a patient's chart. Instead, the nurse should draw a single line through the error, write the word error above it, and sign her name or initials.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Aggressive communication is highly destructive. Although anger may eventually come, the patient most likely feels humiliated first.
