    The document appears to be an excerpt from a test bank for a psychiatric mental health nursing textbook. It contains two sample questions assessing communication skills: 1) The first question evaluates a short interaction between a nurse and client, determining that the communication is social in nature rather than therapeutic, collegial, or intrapersonal. 2) The second question tests recognition of the quality of genuineness, where a client describes the nurse's words and facial expressions conveying the same sincere message. The document provides the questions, answers, and brief explanations of the assessed concepts for a nursing student to review communication skills.

    3. Determine the type of communication occurring in the following vignette.


    Nurse: Good morning, Mrs. Jones. How did you sleep last night?
    Client: I had a lousy night. The person in the room next door kept yelling in his
    sleep.
    Nurse: I know what you mean; sometimes my husband does that too. I’m
    luckier than you because I can shake him and get the shouting to stop. I
    guess you probably wouldn’t have felt comfortable doing that with
    another client.
    Client: No, beside that, who wants to walk around here at night? Still, I think I
    would like to meet him. He looked pretty handsome when I saw the
    nurse taking him around the unit after he was admitted yesterday.
    This interaction should be assessed as:
    1.
    Therapeutic
    2.
    Collegial
    3.
    Social
    4.
    Intrapersonal

    ANS: 3
    Although the conversation takes place between the nurse and a client, it is of a social
    nature. It is superficial and benefits both parties mutually. No expectation of help
    exists. 1. Therapeutic communication promotes client growth and is client-focused.
    2. Collegial conversation occurs for the purpose of professional collaboration. 4.
    Intrapersonal communication takes place within the individual.

    4. A client tells a significant other, “The nurse seems like a real person. She’s
    sincere. I
    can tell because her words and her facial expression go together to give me the same
    message.” The client is describing the quality of:
    1.
    Empathy
    2.
    Clarity
    3.
    Assertiveness
    4.
    Genuineness

    ANS: 4
    Genuineness is demonstrated by congruence between verbal and nonverbal
    behavior,
    interest in the client, and sincere responses. The question scenario does not address
    any other communicator traits.
