  1. Nurses must communicate with all disciplines.
  2. All nursing activities occur in relationships.
  3. Interpersonal skills get the work done.

  2. The residents cannot be allowed to continue such unprofessional behavior.

  4. Physicians do not know what is going on with clients if the residents do not tell them.

Answer to Question 2

1

Residents cannot be allowed to continue, but this does not answer the why portion of the
stem. The other two options may be true, but the broader answer about client care and
satisfaction is the best answer.
