Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Communication habits and mannerism can be identified using the method of taping, offering the nurse greater awareness of both verbal and nonverbal communication skills. The technique of process recording, not taping, offers a way for feedback to be provided on communication skills and dynamics when direct, not indirect, observation is not an option. Taping does not allow communication habits and mannerisms to be memorized.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Therapeutic communication skills are used to foster the nurse-patient relationship in the psychiatric-mental health setting. Asking the patient, Why do you think you will never get well? is an example of requesting an explanation, which is not therapeutic and requires the patient to defend his or her actions. Asking how the patient feels about being discharged, what happened when medication was discontinued, or concerns about the patient's living situation are examples of therapeutic communication.
