Answer to Question 1

D
The Tarasoff ruling specifies that a specific threat to a readily identifiable person or persons must be made. In this situation, the threat is nonspecific. The prudent action is to document and discuss with the clinical team to determine the need for providing a warning to third parties.

Answer to Question 2

B
Culture is the internal and external manifestation of a person's, group's, or community's learned and shared values, beliefs, and norms that are used to help individuals function in life and understand and interpret life occurrences. None of the other responses provides an adequate explanation of culture, because all are too narrow in scope.
