Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: An important characteristic of assertive communication includes the use of I statements versus you statements. You statements place blame and put the listener in a defensive position. I statements encourage discussion.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: A process recording is a word-for-word account of a conversation. It includes all verbal and nonverbal interactions of both the client and nurse. It would be appropriate to use for evaluating the effectiveness of a teaching session. Client communication, therapeutic communication, and verbal communication are simply types of communication-all of which are helpful in client interactions but do not provide a vehicle for evaluation.
