Effective nurses acquire and use excellent communication skills. Four key characteristics of excellent communication that Nurse B may be demonstrating are: 1) sensitive of other's values and cultural differences, 2) aware of other's abilities, 3) shows a genuine interest in the team members, and 4) displays good verbal and written communication skills. The use of mindguards occurs in groupthink (not excellent communication as described in this scenario) by team members to withhold conflicting/disharmonious information that is in direct opposition to the team's views and thoughts.
