Answer to Question 1

B
Whenever staff members gather to discuss workplace issues such as poor wages, unsafe staffing,
mandatory overtime, and job security concerns, there is the potential of collective bargaining actions
such as unionization or strikes. An effective nurse manager would initially discuss these matters with
staff (especially with those who were overheard discussing these concerns) first to find out exactly
what the concerns are and then try to determine how widespread they are among the unit.

Answer to Question 2

D
Verbal communication relies on speaking words to convey a message. Nonverbal communication
consists of aspects of communication that are outside what is spoken such as appearance, facial
expressions, posture, gait, body movements, position, and gestures.
