Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D
For the most effective interview the nurse should look and speak directly to the client, avoid the use of jargon and technical terminology, observe the client's nonverbal communications, and clarify understanding by asking the client to state in his/her own words what he or she under-stood, facilitated by the interpreter. The interview will take longer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
The LEARN Model implements active listening to both the client's verbal and nonverbal com-munication as a means of obtaining insight into the client's perspective of his or her medical problem. This model also encourages the nurse to recognize that the perceptions may differ and to explain the differences in perceptions to the client. The model advocates arriving at a mutually agreed upon treatment plan rather than encouraging the client to surrender personal autonomy in the decision-making.
