Answer to Question 1

B
Body movements, eye contact, gestures, verbal tone, and physical closeness when communicat-ing are all part of a person's culture. For the nurse manager, understanding these cultural beha-viors is critical in accomplishing effective communication within the diverse workforce popula-tion.

Answer to Question 2

B
One of the first actions resulting from the Hospital Quality Initiative has been to require hospitals to submit their quality performance data for 10 measures to comply with the Medicare Prescrip-tion Drug Improvement and Modernization Act.
