Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. Writing English is not helpful, because verbal fluency usually develops before written fluency in language learners.
2. Women of all cultures and all language backgrounds deserve quality prenatal care. When working with a woman who speaks little or no English, a trained medical interpreter should be obtained.
3. Using family members, friends, or other staff to interpret could be problematic because few people understand medical terminology, and it can lead to confidentiality issues.
4. Gestures and facial expressions can be misinterpreted across cultures, and might not present the information correctly.

Answer to Question 2

C

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
