Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Cultural appropriateness is to understand and attend to the total context of the client's situation, using knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Cultural sensitivity implies possessing basic knowledge of the cultural groups the nurse will likely encounter and developing constructive attitudes about their health traditions. Cultural competence is possessing the underlying background knowledge that will provide clients with the best possible health care. The definition of professional nursing care is to strive for cultural sensitivity, cultural appropriateness, and cultural competence.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

A mental status exam on a child consists of both a semi-structured interview and an unstructured play session with the child. Observing a child at play can also provide invaluable information about motor behavior, thought content, affect, and impulse control. There is a general belief that toys with ambiguous meaning and diverse uses foster symbolic play more effectively because they allow the child to project his or her own identity and function onto the toys. The children may or may not relate to adults, but that is not the reason for including the play area. Cognitive ability is only one of the areas of assessment, and not the overall reason for including the play area. Toys may or may not be specific to the child's biological age.
