Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A The patient who moves away from the nurse during a conversation is demonstrating the influence of personal space on communication.
B The patient's reaction is not an example of gender influencing communication.
C The patient's reaction is not an example of environment influencing communication. Noise, temperature extremes, distractions, and lack of privacy are examples of environmental factors that may influence communication.
D Although people do maintain varying distances between each other depending on their culture, the patient's reaction is not an example of sociocultural background influencing communication, as cultural orientation is not mentioned in this situation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Custard is included in a full liquid diet.
Pured meats are allowed in a pured diet, not a full liquid diet.
Soft fresh fruit is not included in a full liquid diet. Fresh fruit is often part of a high-fibre diet. Cooked or canned fruits are allowed on a mechanical soft diet.
Rice is not part of full liquid diet.
