Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse is the sender in this scenario because the nurse responds by speaking and sending a message, rather than just receiving the message. The sender is the person who delivers the mes-sage. The roles of sender and receiver change back and forth as two persons interact. The mes-sage is sent to a receiver, in this case the patient. The message is the content of the conversation; in this scenario the time of the surgery is the message. The channel is the means of conveying and receiving messages through visual, auditory, and tactile senses, the nurse's spoken words in this scenario.
