Answer to Question 1

A
The right to self-determination has its basis in the doctrine of informed consent. Informed con-sent is the process by which competent individuals are provided with information that enables them to make a reasonable decision about any treatment or intervention that is to be performed on them. The other options do not address autonomy and self-determination.

Answer to Question 2

B
Cultural care accommodation or negotiation refers to those assistive, supportive, facilitative, or enabling creative professional actions and decisions that help people of a designated culture adapt to or negotiate with others for a beneficial or satisfying health outcome. The nurse can ask the patient to share more about beliefs, offer a consultation with a nutritionist, or research the beliefs, but these actions do not show accommodation.
