QUESTION

The nurse recruiter recognizes that collegial relationships are an important determinant of success as professionals enter nursing practice. When interviewing candidates for nursing careers,

the nurse recruiter focuses on communication qualities that are important in developing a support system. Which of the following attributes best demonstrate desirable communication qualities? (Select all that apply.)

b. Internalizing
c. Respect for others

ANS: A, C, E
Integrity, respect for others, dependability, a good sense of humor, and an openness to sharing with others are communication qualities people look for in developing a support system. An openness to sharing with others, not internalizing, helps promote collegial relationships. Dependability, not dependence, is an interpersonal strategy to use in developing a support system.
