Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Many people in poverty suffer discrimination and stigma which places them at risk for de-pression and other anxiety-related illnesses. The other subcultures do not present with the same or greater degree of risk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Misunderstanding occurs when the nurse fails to take into account culture-specific interaction patterns. Silence, infrequent eye contact, shame, fear, and language barriers all affect a pa-tient's ability to interact. In light of the patient's cultural diversity, the other options are less likely to be pertinent.
