Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
It is true that in one-way communication, the sender does not expect the receiver to provide feedback. The impact of one-way communication is not always positive. The receiver of one-way communication does not contribute to the interaction. Body language may affect the receiver.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Questions about prognosis and impending death are the responsibility of the physician or, in some cases, the advanced practice nurse. The LPN/LVN should know in advance what can be discussed with the patient and be prepared to refer the person to a more knowledgeable practitioner. The other options are examples in which the LPN/LVN is capable of giving answers.
