Answer to Question 1

B
The receiver's reaction to the sender's message is labeled feedback. The function of feedback is to provide the sender with information about the receiver's perception of the interaction.

Answer to Question 2

B
Readiness to learn is one of the principles of learning. The patient should demonstrate behaviors that indicate ability and willingness to learn. Denying that a health condition exists would indicate that the patient is not ready to learn. Each of the other choices would indicate that the patient is ready to learn.
