Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Family roles differ among cultures. While it is customary among Caucasian parents to bond with the infant early in the neonatal period, it is the mother who bonds with the infant in the Cuban American culture. Developmental milestones can be affected by culture; for example, African American toddlers have been found to develop some motor skills earlier than Caucasian toddlers. The discipline of children varies among cultures. The value of education varies among cultures.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Protecting the client from injury is the most important teaching point. In the older adult there is an increased threshold for the sensation of pain and touch, as well as a decrease in reaction time. The sense of smell decreases with age; reducing the amount of odor in the client's immediate environment is not a priority. Older adults experience a gradual loss of hearing; speaking at a level that the client can hear is important, but not above protection from injury. Range of motion should be encouraged to facilitate mobility and is not a risk factor for fractures.
