A close, effective nurse-client relationship impacts interpersonal communication most by facili-tating:
 
  1. Client education regarding health-related issues
  2. The accurate interpretation of shared information
  3. A free exchange of information between client and nurse
  4. The client's expression of physical and emotional needs

Question 2

Which of the following nursing statements is the best example of the communication tool of clar-ification?
 
  1. Please say that again.
  2. I don't think I understand.
  3. What did you mean by that?
  4. Can you give me an example?

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The more the sender and receiver have in common and the closer the relationship, the more likely they will accurately perceive one another's meaning and respond accordingly. The remaining op-tions are outcomes of an effective nurse-client relationship but they do not impact communica-tion as directly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
To check whether understanding is accurate, ask the other person to rephrase it, explain further, or give an example of what the person means. By asking for an example, the nurse is best able to determine the meaning of the client's statement. The other options either simply ask the client to repeat the statement or state that the nurse needs further information.
