Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Professional symbolic expressions often communicate self-worth and pride. A clean uniform demonstrates a competent and caring demeanor. Patients consistently judge health care professionals by their appearance. The use of large amounts of jewelry, fake fingernails, and visible body markings, including body piercings, are generally not considered appropriate attire in the nursing profession.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Proxemics refers to the amount of space or distance acceptable to two or more individuals based on cultural standards and personal preferences. Most English-speaking persons consider 18 inches to be an acceptable distance for communication. In general, intimate space is 0 to 1.5 feet; personal space is 1.5 to 4 feet; social space is 4 to 12 feet; and public space is 12 to 25 feet or more.
