Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
All of the options are possible explanations for not making eye contact except the hospital forbidding eye contact.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
The facts that women nod to show they are listening, men ask fewer questions than women, and women smile to establish rapport serve as a basis for the instructor mentioning the need for validation of patient understanding. None of these actions prove that the new parents understood what the nursing student was teaching. Nonverbal communication is not a good indicator of understanding and may belie what is actually occurring.
