Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1; 4; 5

Rationale:
 Set a convenient and quiet meeting time and place: In order to stay on task and time, group members must be able to attend the meeting, and not be distracted or interrupted.
 Allow only the key members to participate in group discussions: This is inappropriate, as all members should be allowed input into discussions. If members have nothing to contribute, they should not be in the group.
 Personally evaluate each idea as it comes up and then decide to keep or discard: This is not appropriate for just the group leader; it should fall to all members of the group for discussions before a decision is made.
 Ensure that members know what is expected as completed prework: Members should be kept on task by the leader so each meeting will be productive and efficient.
 Distribute an agenda prior to the meeting to ensure that all are prepared: This is important for the leader to make sure everyone involved knows tasks accomplished and those yet to come.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

Rationale: The nurse manager needs to use terminology appropriate for the receiver. Choosing words the receiver can understand will help ensure that messages are clear. All messages a nurse manager sends cannot be friendly, due to the responsibilities for managing the unit effectively. Repeating the same message does not necessarily show excellent communication skills, as the message might not be crafted in such a way that the receiver can understand it. Title use when relating to staff does not necessarily indicate excellent communication skills.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
