Rationale 1: Metacommunications are nonverbal messages conveyed by body language and environmental factors.
Rationale 2: Intrasender conflict occurs when there is a difficulty in the interpretation of an intended message due to disparity between verbal and nonverbal communication.
Rationale 3: Fogging is a communication technique in which one partially agrees with what was said.
Rationale 4: Intersender conflict occurs when there is a difficulty in the interpretation of an intended message due to disparity between different sources.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3,4
Rationale 1: Physical assessment skills will be necessary as victim's injuries are assessed.
Rationale 2: The nurse must be able to conduct a self-assessment of abilities to manage a victim and of personal reaction to the disaster.
Rationale 3: The nurse must be making situational assessments at all times during the disaster to ensure a flow of clients, equipment, personnel, and information. The nurse must also assess the safety of the situation.
Rationale 4: Victim families are also involved in the disaster. The nurse must assess the families' coping abilities.
Rationale 5: The nurse will not be involved in community assessment at the time of the disaster, but may be called on for this skill in the days and weeks to follow.
