EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS/
ALREADY GRADED A+ (MOST RECENT!!)
1. A nurse is preparing to interview a newly admitted client.
Which environmental factor is most important for the nurse to
control to facilitate effective communication?
A. Room temperature set to 72°F (22°C)
B. Removal of distracting equipment from bedside
C. Dim lighting to promote relaxation
D. Soft background music to reduce anxiety
Answer: B
1
,Rationale: Environmental control is a critical variable affecting
client learning and communication. Distractions such as equipment,
noise, and interruptions block the ability of both sender and
receiver to focus. The priority is removing physical barriers to
attention. Lighting and temperature should be comfortable, but
distraction elimination comes first.
2. A nurse states to a client, "Tell me more about how you
feel about your diagnosis." Which therapeutic communication
technique is the nurse using?
A. Restating
B. Focusing
C. Exploring
D. Reflecting
Answer: C
2
,Rationale: Exploration delves deeper into a topic when the client
remains vague or superficial. Phrases such as "Tell me more
about how you feel" or "Give me an example" encourage the
client to expand on thoughts and feelings. Restating repeats the
client's basic message; focusing narrows the conversation;
reflecting directs questions or feelings back to the client.
3. A nurse is communicating with a client who has difficulty
understanding English. What is the best approach to improve
communication?
A. Speak louder and slower
B. Use an interpreter or translation services
C. Avoid eye contact to prevent confusion
D. Use gestures without speaking
Answer: B
3
, Rationale: Using a qualified medical interpreter or translation
services is the gold standard for clients with limited English
proficiency. Speaking louder does not improve comprehension.
While gestures may supplement communication, they cannot
replace accurate language interpretation. Eye contact should be
culturally appropriate, not avoided.
4. A nurse is caring for a client with a hearing impairment.
Which strategy is most effective to improve communication?
A. Use a written message or sign language interpreter
B. Speak loudly without facing the client
C. Keep the client's back turned when speaking
D. Use non-verbal cues but no words
Answer: A
Rationale: Written messages or a qualified sign language
interpreter are most effective for clients with hearing impairment.
