Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
Use of touch, eye contact, reference of address, and meaning of gestures all may have cultural significance and connotation. Slow, loud speech would not assist with speaking to a person of a different culture.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
Difficulty speaking, attending, disorientation, dyspnea, and sensory deficits are all defining characteristics that warrant a diagnosis of impaired verbal communication. Being a geriatric patient does not necessarily support the nursing diagnosis of impaired verbal communication.
