This test bank for Interpersonal Relationships: Professional Communication Skills for Nurses, 8th Edition supports the development of communication competencies essential for patient care, therapeutic interaction, and interprofessional collaboration. Aligned with nursing standards, each chapter reinforces active listening, cultural sensitivity, ethical decision-making, and conflict resolution.
Designed for pre-licensure and RN-to-BSN students, the test bank includes practice questions that mirror real-world nursing communication scenarios—across acute, community, and end-of-life care. It is especially helpful for preparing for NCLEX items that assess therapeutic communication, psychosocial integrity, and client advocacy.
Nursing faculty use this resource to assess students’ ability to apply professional communication theory in clinical settings. It is ideal for simulation prep, scenario-based exams, and reflective discussions in both in-person and online programs.
