Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Leininger's Theory of Cultural Care Diversity and Universality is based on the nurse's need to be aware of and sensitive to the cultural needs of clients. This consideration supersedes the importance of physical health, coping skills, or awareness of needs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Supplementing knowledge and teaching skills to clients are activities that are central to the needs-oriented approach to nursing. Such a program is less likely to prioritize the relationship focus of the interaction-oriented approach or the emphasis on health environments that is associated with the outcome-oriented approach. The eclectic approach is more individualized to the nurse's perspectives, priorities, and skills.
