Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale:

1. Asians and Native Americans are more likely to experience alcohol abuse due to metabolic mechanisms.
2. Blacks are more likely to experience obesity and sickle-cell disease.
3. Hispanics and Blacks have higher rates of lactose intolerance than those of other racial backgrounds.
4. White children of certain geographic origins are more likely to manifest diseases such as cystic fibrosis and celiac disease.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. The nursing process is used when providing care for children in the health center, and in some cases in the mobile health van. The range of assessment responsibilities can vary by setting, as can the preparation and experience of the nurse. Specific functions of the pediatric nurse in this setting include identifying children in need of urgent care or isolation.
2. Nurses do not perform minor surgical procedures, regardless of location.
3. The nurse could provide nursing care, not medical care, to chronically ill children.
4. Nurses do not perform major surgical procedures, regardless of location.
