Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

It is a priority for the nurse to develop an awareness of his or her own perceptions, prejudices, and stereotypes regarding the client populations that are served. Reading about culture and remaining nonjudgmental are strategies that can be incorporated after engaging in a self-awareness inventory. Although experience working with diverse clients will help, it will be more meaningful after engaging in a self-awareness inventory.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The outpatient clinic would provide the care the client requires in the most cost-effective manner. There is no indication for inpatient or partial hospitalization at this time. Because the client is homeless, home health care would not be the best option in this situation.
