Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A client-centered interview begins with encouraging clients to tell the story of their illness. This format helps nurses integrate personal with medical perspectives. Using short, unambiguous listening responses focused on current health issues and client concerns is the best means of helping clients tell their story. With relevant queries you will get a better idea of how the client communicates and what clients consider most important about their clinical situation. In addition to using a here and now approach, avoid asking more than one question at a time, and allow enough time for the client to fully answer. Related follow-up questions to clarify or help clients expand on what has been introduced can be helpful.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Communication breaks down when the nurse and client do not share the same understanding of messages. Barriers to effective communication occur in clients when they are preoccupied with pain, physical discomfort, worry, or contradictory personal beliefs. The client's pain must be a priority for the nurse before other needs are addressed.
