NUR 2032 - Exam 3 Study Guide Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E./Kozier & Erb’s Fundamentals of Nursing, 10/E Chapters 26, 27, 28, 34, 47, 48, 49 Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Question 1 A nurse explains to a client that he will need to have a bowel prep before going to his esophagogastroscopy. On what should the nurse focus to improve communication skills? 1. Pace 2. Intonation 3. Simplicity 4. Clarity Rationale 3: Simplicity includes the use of commonly understood words, brevity, and completeness. A “bowel prep” may be completely meaningless to a client, but telling him that he needs to drink a gallon of laxative-like medication gets the point across better. Esophagogastroscopy is a complicated word. Using words like “small camera looking down your throat into your stomach” will make much more sense to the client.
