Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may
be blank and empty when the individual has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also
indicate stubbornness and resistance, apprehension, or discomfort. Silence may be viewed by some
cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap with
conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and see it as essential to understanding
a person’s needs.
Many American Indians have this latter view of silence, as do some traditional Chinese and
Japanese persons. Therefore, when one of these persons is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be
implied is that the person wants the nurse to consider the content of what has been said before
continuing.
Other cultures may use silence in yet other ways. For example, English and Arabic persons use
silence for privacy, whereas Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to indicate
agreement between parties. Some persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect,
particularly toward an elder. Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in
authority rather than showing the disrespect of disagreement.
Nurses need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence so that personal anxiety does not

promote the silence to be interrupted prematurely or to be nontherapeutic. A nurse who understands
the therapeutic value of silence can use this understanding to enhance the care of clients from other
cultures.
Question 21: What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A. It implies anger B. It promotes friendship
C. It is culture-specific D. It is content-based
Question 22: Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A. The Japanese
B. The French
C. The Mexicans
D. The Russians
Question 23: What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases
B. Break it while treating patients
C. Evaluate its harm to patients
D. Make use of its healing effects
Question 24: The word “essential” in the passage is closest in meaning to_________.
A. necessary
B. dispensable
C. indicative
D. insignificant
Question 25: What may be the best title for the text?
A. Sound and Silence

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
There are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols and
gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of a signal is to impinge upon the
environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of
telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. While less
adaptable to the codification of words, sings contain greater meaning in and of themselves. A top
sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to
describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s
cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory
symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural

messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a major
disadvantage. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly
adjacent to the receiver. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances
and extended periods are based upon speech. Radio, television and the telephone are only a few of
such means.
