Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Breakdown in communication is a top contributor to errors in the workplace and threatens pro-fessional credibility. The remaining options affect credibility but not to the extent that poor communication does.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Feedback is the message the receiver returns. It indicates whether the receiver understood the meaning of the sender's message. Demonstrating the technique is the best way to show the nurse an understanding of the process. The other options either nonverbally or verbally indicate under-standing; they are not as conclusive as showing understanding.
