Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse should reassure a patient before a bronchoscopy that they will be able to breathe during the procedure. The patient is instructed to remain NPO after midnight (4 to 8 hours) before the procedure. Informed consent must be obtained before the patient is premedicated.

Answer to Question 2

D
Messages transmitted without the use of words (either oral or written) constitute nonverbal communication. Nonverbal cues include tone and rate of voice, volume of speech, eye contact, physical appearance, and use of touch.
