Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Nonverbal language varies significantly with culture, and misinterpretation of body language, including use of personal space, can lead to clinical misunderstandings. Clients from cultures in which people normally stand close together (e.g., Italian and many Latin American cultures) may feel that a nurse who sits or stands further away is cold and unfriendly. However, people from a Nordic-influenced culture may be more comfortable with larger spaces between people.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
What and how people eat varies tremendously among cultures, the understanding of which is crucial to good nursing care. A nurse educating a client who is newly diagnosed with diabetes or hyperlipidemia about dietary restrictions will be much more effective if he or she chooses examples that resonate with that particular client. Although the diet could be too lean or bland and unappetizing or the wife might cook according to the husband's preferences, these are not cultural components.
