Answer to Question 1

D
The interactional patterns of high-context (universalism) patients refer to the characteristics of relationships and behaviors toward others. When a person from a high-context culture interacts with the nurse, a more personal relationship is expected. This is not related to television shows, teaching materials, or appointment cancellations.

Answer to Question 2

A
Relying on established norms for laboratory values when analyzing the assessment data of older adults could lead to incorrect conclusions. The nurse should try to determine what the patient's normal range is after stabilizing the patient.
