Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Qualifiers reveal a concern for the consequences of sending the communication message. These
also reveal lack of confidence. Intimate messages are not always appropriate and the receiver,
goal, and message must be considered first. Requiring the use of titles, such as Nurse Jones or
Ms. Smith can be appropriate for respect is some situations but is not necessarily excellent
communication. Persistence is not necessarily an aspect of excellent communication.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Nurses can be politically aware and active in an organization or in the community. By being aware of issues and those people who can effect change, the nurse can influence those in the decision-making roles.
Rationale 2: Running for political office is a way to be politically active but is not the reason to be politically aware for most nurses.
Rationale 3: There is no guarantee that being politically aware and active will have any effect on wages and benefits.
Rationale 4: A nurse can increase understanding of client rights without being politically aware and active.
