Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When using an interpreter, the nurse should communicate directly with family members when asking questions to reinforce interest in them and to observe nonverbal expressions. Questions should be posed one at a time to elicit only one answer at a time. Medical jargon should be avoided whenever possible. The nurse should avoid discussing the family's needs with the interpreter in English because some family members may understand some English.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Lateral bowing of the tibia (bowlegged) is an expected finding in toddlers when they begin to walk. It usually persists until all of their lower back and leg muscles are well developed. Further evaluation is needed if it persists beyond ages 2 to 3 years, especially in African American children.
