Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, E, F
Assertive communication begins with the word I. Other characteristics include speaking up for oneself in a respectful manner, verbalizing one's thoughts and feelings, and being honest.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, F
Although communication can be challenging, there may be temporary or permanent techniques to assist with communication. Patients with challenges to sight, sound, and speech require adaptive techniques. Those who speak a different language than the provider also need adaptive techniques.
