MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The nurse is conducting an interview with a woman who has recently learned that she is
pregnant and who has come to the clinic today to begin prenatal care. The woman states that she
and her husband are excited about the pregnancy but have a few questions. She looks nervously
at her hands during the interview and sighs loudly. Considering the concept of communication,
which statement does the nurse know to be most accurate? The woman is:
a. Excited about her pregnancy but nervous about the labor.
b. Exhibiting verbal and nonverbal behaviors that do not match.
c. Excited about her pregnancy, but her husband is not and this is upsetting to her.
d.
Not excited about her pregnancy but believes the nurse will negatively
respond to her if she states this.

Communication is all behaviors, conscious and unconscious, verbal and nonverbal. All behaviors
have meaning. Her behavior does not imply that she is nervous about labor, upset by her
husband, or worried about the nurses response.
