A close, effective nurse-client relationship impacts interpersonal communication most by facili-tating:
1. Client education regarding health-related issues
2. The accurate interpretation of shared information
3. A free exchange of information between client and nurse
4. The client's expression of physical and emotional needs
ANS: 2
The more the sender and receiver have in common and the closer the relationship, the more likely they will accurately perceive one another's meaning and respond accordingly. The remaining op-tions are outcomes of an effective nurse-client relationship but they do not impact communica-tion as directly.
