Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, F
Zerwekh and Claborn (2009) identified four Cs for effective communication particularly in nursing and health care environments. They are: 1) clear (does the team member understand what is being said?); 2) concise (has the sender confused the direction by providing too much unnecessary information?); 3) correct (is the direction given in alignment with policies, procedures, job description, and the law?); and 4) complete (does the team member have all the information necessary to complete the task?).

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, F
Communication is an interactive process where a verbal or nonverbal message is sent from one individual to another which involves feedback. Some processes that can impact communication are: 1) emotions; 2) needs; 3) values; 4) education; 5) perceptions; 6) culture; 7) goals;

literacy; 9) cognitive ability; and 10) communication mode.

Answer to Question 3

B
In interpersonal conflict, the source of disagreement may be between two people or groups or work
teams. Intrapersonal conflict is the type of conflict that occurs within the individual. Organizational
conflict is often referred to as intergroup conflict. Conflict can be defined as a disagreement about
something of importance to each person involved.
