Answer to Question 1

C
Response C is the best and most appropriate response. Response A is inappropriate because it assumes that residents who have experienced abuse would not accept touch during communication. Responses B and D are inappropriate in this situation. Consulting residents' families and facility policies in planning care are important aspects of nursing practice; however, asking a resident's permission before touching his or her hand or hugging during conversation is the most appropriate response.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nonverbal communication takes into account everything but words (response C). It refers to hand and facial movements, clothing, eye contact, body posture, and positioning. They are the clues to the actual thought and feeling behind the words.
