Answer to Question 1

A, F
The two areas in which the concerns regarding health disparities apply to the clinical setting: (1) dealing with cultural issues and developing cultural competency and (2) providing equity in access to care and quality of care by increasing evidence-based practice.

Answer to Question 2

A
Respirations of 9 is an indication of respiratory distress, a complication with the use of intrathecal opioids. Mild itching would not require notification of the health care provider. Sedation is an expected disadvantage with intrathecal opioids. Pressure with contractions is not associated with the need to notify the health care provider following intrathecal opioid administration.
