Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Territoriality is a concept of the space and things that an individual considers as belonging to the self.
Rationale 2: The environment involved in communication must be comfortable. Otherwise it may distract and impair communication.
Rationale 3: In congruent communication, the verbal and nonverbal aspects of the message match. Saying his pain level is fine, but then showing with facial grimacing that it is not, would be in conflict.
Rationale 4: Attitudes can convey beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about people and events-not what is described in this scenario.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Personal distance is 1-1/2 to 4 feet and is less overwhelming than intimate distance. Much communication between nurses and clients occurs at this distance, such as sitting with a client, giving medications, or establishing an IV infusion.
Rationale 2: Intimate distance is characterized by body contact and used frequently by nurses when they are required to perform a procedure. Distance in this category is touching to 1-1/2 feet.
Rationale 3: Social distance is characterized by clear, visual perception of the whole person and is important in accomplishing the business of the day.
Rationale 4: Public distance requires loud, clear vocalizations and is used for groups of people or in the community for presentations.
