Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Message competency refers to the ability to use language and nonverbal behaviors strategically in the intervention phase of the nursing process to achieve the goals of the interaction. The assessment, planning, and evaluation phases of the nursing process are incorrect answers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
For successful communication, words used should have a similar meaning to both individuals in the interaction. An important part of the communication process is the search for a common vocabulary so that the message sent is the same as the one received. Referring to the client by diagnosis, having interactions focus on physical care, and referring to the client by bed number are communication styles that do not ensure that the message sent is the same as the one received.
