What are the differences between functional and dysfunctional interpersonal communications?

Please answer questions and 2 citations, then answer the Classmate’s post. Thank you

1ST Classmates Post Frances
Functional interpersonal communications are important to have between
groups. It involves messages between two or more people. It also
provides a healthy way to communicate with each other. Functional
interpersonal communications allow work to be done on time without any
issues.
Dysfunctional interpersonal communications can affect everyone
around. It is a miscommunication between groups and may put a strain in
getting a project or work done. Some example of dysfunctional
interpersonal communications are lack of feedback and updates from the
upper management positions.

2nd classmate post Monica

The difference between functional and dysfunctional communications is
that functional conflict provides constructive criticisms. A
resolve/change is a result of a functional conflict. Whereas
dysfunctional communications are “unhealthy disagreements” amongst group
members (Lombardo). Poor communication can lead conflicts to further
disarray so it’s important that individuals or group members resolve any
conflict effectively as it puts the entire team at risk of making
mistakes and more importantly, can put the patient at risk.
