Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Fogging is a technique used when the person is in partial agreement with what was said.
Rationale 2: Negative assertion involves some acceptance of blame for what was said.
Rationale 3: Negative inquiry is a statement of I don't understand. Negative inquiry is an effective technique, provided the person to whom it is directed does not become defensive or distraught.
Rationale 4: Compromise implies that an agreement has occurred between the nurse manager and the nurse.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. A new graduate nurse must quickly learn the most effective, yet the quickest means of
completing daily responsibilities. If problems arise, time management skills, an inability to
organize effectively, and/or problems with being able to stay on task through self -discipline
could all be possible issues. Role confusion is incorrect as it would be unusual for a new
graduate to be confused about role expectations.
