Answer to Question 1

A
Alignment is one of six communication techniques that help move an individual toward mastery of the art of communication. Alignment can be viewed as the congruency of verbal and nonver-bal communication. If the verbal message is clear, but the nonverbal communication is not con-gruent, then listeners may misinterpret, distrust, or not even hear the intended message. In this situation, the nurse's nonverbal behavior may suggest that she is not interested in interacting with the family.

Answer to Question 2

D
