ATI PN PEDIATRICS PROCTORED EXAM
1. A nurse believes that the nurse-patient relationship is a partnership and that both are equal
participants. Which term should the nurse use to describe this belief?
a. Critical thinking
b. Authentic
c. Mutuality
d. Attend
ANS: C
Effective interpersonal communication requires a sense of mutuality, a belief that the nurse-
patient relationship is a partnership and that both are equal participants. Critical
thinking in nursing, based on established standards of nursing care and ethical
standards, promotes effective communication and uses standards such as humility, self-
confidence,
independent attitude, and fairness. To be authentic (one’s self) and to respond
appropriately to the other person are important for interpersonal relationships but do
not mean mutuality. Attending is giving all of your attention to the patient.
2. A nurse wants to present information about flu immunizations to the older adults in the community.
Which type of communication should the nurse use?
a. Public
b. Small group
c. Interpersonal
d. Intrapersonal
ANS: A
Public communication is interaction with an audience. Nurses have opportunities to
speak with groups of consumers about health-related topics, present scholarly work
to colleagues at conferences, or lead classroom discussions with peers or students.
When nurses work on committees or participate in patient care conferences, they use
a small group communication process. Interpersonal communication is one-on-one
interaction between a nurse and another person that often occurs face to face.
Intrapersonal communication is a powerful form of communication that you use as a
professional nurse. This level of communication is also called self- talk.

ensure effective communication?
