d. “The nursing attendant practices assertive and responsible communication strategies.”
PRECISE ANSWER:-C
Reasoning:->>>Learning involves three domains: the cognitive aspects (understanding
and meaning), affective aspects (feelings, values, and attitudes), and psychomotor
aspects (physical capability).Learning basic communication skills involves the cognitive
domain; building confidence through a belief in the value and impact of positive
communication is the affective domain; and putting skills into action is the psychomotor
domain.DIF: Comprehension REF: page. 13 TOPIC: Integrated Process: Communication

b. “Why do I always have to cover extra shifts?”
c. “I am not able to work an extra shift.”
d. “If you can’t find anyone else, I will do it.”
PRECISE ANSWER:-C
Reasoning:->>>The staff nursing attendant may turn down even a reasonable request; an
assertive response avoids irrational beliefs. Irrational beliefs occur as a result of being

d. “You will never be able to give me what I really want to work.”
PRECISE ANSWER:-B
Reasoning:->>>A statement that allows others to make decisions for a person is an
example of a nonassertive style of communication; the response of others to a
nonassertive statement may include disrespect, guilt, anger, or frustration. Statements that
make choices for others or that are accusations are examples of aggressive styles of
communication; the response of others to an aggressive statement may include hurt,
defensiveness, or humiliation. A statement that allows making one’s own decisions is an
example of assertive style of communication; the response of others to an assertive
statement may include mutual respect.
