Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Silence is an extremely effective therapeutic communication skill that is frequently underused because the nurse feels uncomfortable applying it.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When demonstrating active listening, the nurse must give his or her full attention and make an effort to understand both the verbal and nonverbal message.
