The nurse suspects that the patient's communication is being negatively influenced by personal attitude when he is heard stating:
 
  a. They think I'm mentally ill but I'm not; I just get a little depressed at times.
  b. I can't concentrate on anything besides getting out of here and back to my kids.
  c. Obviously my therapist can't understand where I'm coming from because our lives are so different.
  d. There isn't anyone here in this hospital I can trust enough to talk to about why I abuse alcohol and drugs.

Question 2

The nature of the communication characterized in this exchange between a nurse and a chronically depressed patient is:
 
  Nurse: Is it true that you enjoy knitting?
  Patient: Yes, I've done it for years and am pretty good at it.
  Nurse: I'm just a beginner. Do you think you could give me some tips?
  Patient: I guess so. What would you like to know?
  a. Therapeutic
  b. Collegial
  c. Social
  d. Intrapersonal

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Attitude determines how one person responds to another. It includes one's biases, past expe-riences, and openness. People of different socioeconomic backgrounds may have difficulty surmounting this barrier. The remaining options reflect factors that can negatively influence communication but they are environmental, knowledge, and relationship oriented.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Although the conversation takes place between the nurse and a patient, it is of a social nature. It is superficial and benefits both parties mutually by encouraging a relationship based on mutual interest. No expectation of help exists. Therapeutic communication promotes patient growth and is patient-focused. Collegial conversation occurs for the purpose of professional collaboration. Intrapersonal communication takes place within the individual.
