Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Feedback:
When conducting an assessment, areas to include that address cultural diversity include pain, time, touch, and communication. Environment is a global term that may or may not be appropriate to for an assessment on cultural diversity.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The objective of endocrine therapy is to block or counter the effect of estrogen in the pathogenesis of cancer. The best-known agent is tamoxifen. Use of progestins along with estrogens in postmenopausal women increases a woman's risk for breast cancer. In addition, estrogen is considered to play a major role in the development of breast cancer and as such would not be used. Cortisone is a steroid and would not be used.
