Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Each person has a sense of how much personal or private space is needed and what distance between individuals is optimum. It is best to take cues from the client; a client moving backward indicates discomfort with invasion of his or her personal space.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The major focus of assessment is to gather information using both verbal and nonverbal communication forms. Nurses use the written word, the spoken word, and one-to-one communication with clients. Effective communication techniques, as well as observational skills, are used extensively during assessment.
