Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Summarizing pulls related ideas together; restates key ideas; offers a group solution or suggestion for other members to accept or reject. Harmonizing attempts to reconcile disagreements; helps members reduce conflict and explore differences in a constructive manner. Encouraging indicates by words and body language unconditional acceptance of others; agrees with contributions of other group members; and is warm, friendly, and responsive to other group members. Compromising admits mistakes; offers a concession when appropriate; and modifies position in the interest of group cohesion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Self-roles are roles a person uses to meet self-needs at the expense of other members' needs, group values, and goal achievement. Self-roles detract from the group's work and compromise goal achievement by taking time away from group issues and creating discomfort among group members. Challenging the talkers does not foster a safe environment in which to express feelings. With group communication strategies, the desired communication flow is from member to member, rather than from nurse leader to client.
