Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A powerful image comes from thinking of oneself as powerful and effective, and this is communicated through posture, maintaining eye contact, treating others with courtesy and respect, and using a firm, confident voice with vocabulary that is appropriate (which does not necessarily involve using big-sounding words).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Tom's response reflects a distancing from other nurses related to discomfort with conflict associated with human interactions. The text defines human interactions within organizations as politics, a component of which is the essential process of power.
