Assertive, Passive, Aggressive, and Passive-Aggressive Verbal Communication Skills
You represent the nursing department on a newly formed interdisciplinary team to look at medication errors and medication safety. You are one of seven team members. The Pharmacy Director, also a team member, has a very assertive communication style.
