Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Establishing rapport is a process of creating goodwill and trust and usually begins with a greeting and self-introduction, accompanied by nonverbal gestures such as a smile, a handshake, and a friendly manner. Making introductions, especially offering the use of name, is especially good in establishing rapport.
Rationale 2: Telling a hospitalized client he or she is lucky is probably not the best therapeutic comment.
Rationale 3: Establishing rapport is a process of creating goodwill and trust and usually begins with a greeting and self-introduction, accompanied by nonverbal gestures such as a smile, a handshake, and a friendly manner.
Rationale 4: Establishing rapport is a process of creating goodwill and trust and usually begins with a greeting and self-introduction, accompanied by nonverbal gestures such as a smile, a handshake, and a friendly manner.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Nurses must be cautious when asking family members, client visitors, or agency nonprofessional staff to assist with translation. Issues of confidentiality or gender mismatch can interfere with effective communication.
Rationale 2: Live translation is preferred because the client can then ask questions for clarification. Many large facilities are establishing their own translator services for the languages commonly spoken in their geographical regions.
Rationale 3: Nurses must be cautious when asking family members, client visitors, or agency nonprofessional staff to assist with translation. Issues of confidentiality or gender mismatch can interfere with effective communication.
Rationale 4: Using hand gestures is not an appropriate way to communicate with a client when other options are available.
