When a nurse tells an advanced nurse practitioner that her client is slipping a little in reference to hemodynamic pressures, The nurse is using:
 
  1. Brevity
  2. Relevance
  3. Pacing and control.
  4. Connotative meaning

Question 2

During the assessment phase of the nursing process, the nurse may uncover data that help to identify communication problems. An example of this information is:
 
  1. Extreme dyspnea or shortness of breath
  2. Urinary frequency and pain
  3. Chronic stomach pain
  4. Lack of appetite

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The connotative meaning is the shade or interpretation of a word's meaning influenced by the thoughts, feelings, or ideas people have about the word. Slipping a little in reference to hemo-dynamic pressures is an example of using connotative meaning. Brevity means that communica-tion is simple, brief, and direct. This is not an example of using brevity. Relevance means the message is relevant or important to the situation at hand. This is not an example of using rele-vance. Pacing and control mean speaking slowly enough to enunciate clearly and not changing subjects rapidly. This is not an example of using pacing and control.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
An extremely breathless person must use oxygen to breathe rather than speak. Urinary frequency may interrupt conversation but is not a communication problem. Chronic stomach pain would not be a communication problem. The patient with chronic pain is, to some degree, used to the pain. A lack of appetite is not a communication problem.
