Answer to Question 1

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that causes small blood vessel disease that impairs tissue perfusion. It also causes hemoglobin to have greater affinity for oxygen, so it fails to release oxygen to tissues.

Answer to Question 2

All nurses should provide transcultural nursing.
