Chapter 3: Effective Communication

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1.A number of trends have been identified that impact communication, especially healthcare communication. Which of the following is not one of these identified trends?

ANS: C

A variety of trends have been noted that can impact effective communication in society. These trends can also influence communication in healthcare environments and make it challenging for nurses and other healthcare professionals. Some of these identified trends are 1) the increasing diversity of the United States; 2) the aging population; 3) technology; and 4) reliance on written communication using electronic data causing a shift from visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modes. Even with these changes in trends, nurses are still required to have keen writing skills in order to communicate effectively.

2.A written assignment sheet provides a number of different functions that assist the nurse with delegation and patient care functions. Which of the following is not one of these expectations of a written assignment sheet?

ANS: D

The written assignment sheet is one method in which nurses can organize and delegate patient care to members of the health care team. Some of the functions and expectations of a written assignment sheet include: 1) transmits information on what care is to be provided by whom per shift; 2) provides NAPs with a list of patients they are to care for per shift; and 3) provides nurses with a list of patients they are responsible for per shift. While the registered nurse does use the written assignment sheet to delegate and assign care, the responsibility for care ultimately remains with the nurse, as NAPs can provide care, but cannot assume full responsibility for patient care.
