Answer to Question 1

2,5
Rationale 1: The size of the hospital is not significant in selecting evidence-based practice interventions.
Rationale 2: Evidence-based practice is most reliable when more than one study has confirmed the results.
Rationale 3: Many evidence-based practice interventions are new, and the manager may have no previous knowledge about them.
Rationale 4: While the manager must be certain the articles are from reputable sources, research is not limited to those who are already known in the field.
Rationale 5: The research on which evidence-based practice is based must be rigorous in design and must have been executed according to its design.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Metacommunications are nonverbal messages conveyed by body language and environmental
factors. Intrasender conflict occurs when there is a difficulty in the interpretation of an
intended message due to disparity between verbal and nonverbal communication. Fogging is a
communication technique in which one partially agrees with what was said. Intersender
conflict occurs when there is a difficulty in the interpretation of an intended message due to
disparity between different sources.
