Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Regardless of the culture of the client family, it is crucial to establish rapport and gain trust and confidence before attempting to gather data. First impressions are important and the nurse should ensure a mutually respectful relationship is created. Thus, starting by providing compliments, greeting them with poor Spanish, or assuming that the male is the authority in the family may all lead to an unacceptable first impression of the nurse to the family.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Workers' Compensation Act protects the employer if the compensation received by the employee precludes legal suits against the employer. Workers receive an average of 66 of their take-home pay before taxes. The OHN educates the employee regarding benefits under the Workers' Compensation Act and is often the one who files the claim. The goal is to limit the worker's disability and provide an opportunity for early return to work through appropriate workplace accommodations.
