Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
When using the group communication technique of understanding, the nurse indicates verbally or nonverbally that the feelings being communicated by the client are comprehended. In reassurance, the nurse would offer the client confidence about a favorable outcome through suggestion, persuasive arguments, or comparing similar situations. Teaching would involve helping the client learn specifics in relation to event and behavior. Listening involves concentrating on the client's communication without interrupting.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The blocker resists progress by arguing or disagreeing beyond reason. The dominator asserts authority and superiority by manipulating the group or certain members. The follower goes along with the ideas of others, assuming an audience role. The gate keeper facilitates and encourages the contributions of others, thereby keeping communication open.
