Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Infections, malnutrition, and violence are the primary causes of mortality in developing countries. Cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease, stroke, violence, and traumatic injury are the primary causes of mortality in a developed country. The problem of malnutrition is broader than examining the environment associated with growing the country's food supply.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
He should ask a female nurse to talk with the client. Many culture groups have strong norms regarding appropriate gender behavior. Norms are the rules by which human behavior is governed and result from the cultural values held by the group. All societies have rules or norms that specify appropriate and inappropriate behavior. Individuals are rewarded or punished as they conform to, or deviate from, the established norms. Thus, this woman is likely to not deviate from these cultural norms and should be given the opportunity to speak with a female nurse. The other responses do not address the cultural needs regarding gender that this client needs to have addressed.
