Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

Rationale: Since it is an assessment, the nurse manager would first think about the goals of the communication. Once completed, the manager would implement the process by first deciding the best way to say what was needed to reach the goal. Ensuring the communication was understood is the final step for the nurse manager. Developing an appropriate, thoughtful response is the first step of the receiver's process.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4, 2, 1, 5, 6, 3
Rationale: The sender must think of the message, then encode it into an understandable communication. Next, the sender sends the transmission, and the receiver receives it, decodes it, and responds to the message.
