Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Caring for homeless women requires sensitivity and creativity. The best action by the nurse is to collaborate with social services to find a shelter that takes new moms and their infants. The other actions are unnecessary and will contribute to the woman's distrust of the health-care system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Recent research showed that most undocumented Hispanic immigrants in Texas came to find work as their primary reason. This response is best because it offers factual information and is professional in tone. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act does not provide health coverage for undocumented migrants and prohibits them from buying private insurance from the state-sponsored exchanges.
