A director of nursing (DON) of a small, remote hospital wants to use telehealth technology, because the facility just updated all of its computers. What action by the DON is best?
 
  a. Assess the capability of the hospital's LAN (local area network).
  b. Check on the facility's WAN (wide area network) access.
  c. Determine if nurses are interested in telehealth capability.
  d. Write network protocols for telehealth activity.

Question 2

Why are communication theories that consider only a linear relationship between the sender and receiver of messages considered to be too simplistic?
 
  a. In relationships of unequal power, linear models do not work well.
  b. Linear pathways imply both sender and receiver actually participate.
  c. Linear models do not consider the dynamic interactions of multiple variables.
  d. There are often more than one sender and more than one receiver.

Answer to Question 1

B
WAN encompasses a larger geographic area and includes leased telecommunication lines. WAN access would need to be assessed to determine the capability of reaching out to remote sites.
LAN encompasses a smaller computer network and may only include the hospital itself. The facility would need WAN access.
Determining nursing interest would give some good information about what is needed to facilitate this change, but it is not the most important action for the DON to take.
The DON would not write network protocols; the technology department would.

Answer to Question 2

C
Communication is a complex process that incorporates multiple variables, including relationships, past experiences, and personalities.
These linear models simplify a process that is very complex and makes static a process that is dynamic.
Linear models show communication flowing from a sender to a receiver; whether or not both are active participants is not part of the criteria of linear models, although active participation would create better communication.
There may be more than one sender and receiver in a communication exchange, but this would make the theory more, not less, complex.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
