Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Assertiveness conveys a sense of self-assurance while also communicating respect for the other person. Assertive responses often contain I messages, such as I want, I need, I think, or I feel, but in a fashion that is not demeaning or demanding. The remaining options are not the best examples because some lack an explanation of the nurse's actual needs while others are not respectfully stated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
To foster trust, the nurse communicates warmth and demonstrates consistency, reliability, hones-ty, competence, and respect. Sharing personal information or gossiping about others sends the message you cannot be trusted and damages interpersonal relationships. The nurse appears to be gossiping by the way the client is encouraged to discuss what the night shift nurse is doing. The remaining options show varying degrees of addressing the client's statement.
