The nursing instructor notes a nursing student is very imaginative

When teaching students about designing and adjusting behavioral contracts, the nursing instructor knows that this particular student will have an advantage in developing contracts because: 1. Monitoring nonverbal communication is a secondary goal.
2. Effective communication skill is the key negotiating tool.
3. Reprioritization of goals is the most important issue.
4. Creativity is an essential component.

Rationale: Designing a contract to which the client can adhere will maximize the chance of success. Creativity is an essential component in negotiating an effective behavioral contract. Effective communication skills and reprioritization are important, but are not necessarily the most important aspects of developing behavioral contracts. The student's inventiveness is not related to monitoring nonverbal communication.
