Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Reporting problems and unacceptable practices is an aspect of ethical/legal skills. Technical skills enable the safe performance of kinesthetic tasks while interpersonal skills are the manifestations of caring. Cognitive skills encompass knowledge and critical thinking.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Performing tasks that require manual dexterity is a manifestation of technical skills. Explaining the transfusion process is largely dependent on interpersonal skills, while understanding the theory behind blood types is indicative of cognitive skills. Informed consent lies within the domain of legal/ethical skills.
