Answer to Question 1

D
A client's culture influences the learning process; thus a situation that is most conducive to learning is one in which the teacher has knowledge and understanding of the client's cultural beliefs.
The ability to understand the language in which teaching is done determines how much the client learns. Clients for whom English is not their primary language may not understand idioms, nuances, slang terms, informed usage of words, or medical words. The teacher should be fluent in the language of the student.
Developmental levels and educational levels influence how a person learns best. In order for the teacher to best present the information, it is best for the class to be of the same levels.
A large class is not conducive to learning. It does not allow questions, and the teacher is not able to see the nonverbal cues from the students to ensure understanding.

Answer to Question 2

C
Edema is within normal limits for the first few days until the excess interstitial fluid is remobilized and excreted. Deep tendon reflexes should be 1+ to 2+. Discomfort in the calf with sharp dorsiflexion of the foot may indicate a deep vein thrombosis. A fleshy odor, not a foul odor, is within normal limits.
