Answer to Question 1

B
The results of a laboratory test used to monitor glucose control will show how well the patient has been managing the various aspects of his or her treatment plan. This information is collected in the health perception/health management functional health pattern. The other questions do not demonstrate the patient's knowledge level.

Answer to Question 2

D
Culture is a blueprint for responding to individuals, family, and the community. Persons from strong cultural backgrounds cannot just change their behavior when instructed to do so. The nurse explains this to the student. Stating that the nurse understands the frustration is helpful but does not give the student any information that could help him or her work with this patient. Stat-ing that people from a certain culture are never compliant is biased and prejudicial. Getting through to the patient implies ethnocentrism and bias.
