Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Race (biologic variations) is a term used to categorize people with genetically shared physical characteristics. The biological variations necessitate differences in skin assessment, both in terms of technique and interpretation of results. Ethnicity and culture are psychosocial concepts that certainly have relationships to race, but neither specifically warrants changes in integumentary assessments.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should respect the client's cultural beliefs and explain the importance of the nutritional status for the mother's, as well as the baby's, health. IV fluids are given only when the client cannot take food orally. Informing the nurse supervisor is inappropriate and irrelevant. Telling the client that her beliefs are wrong and she needs to have food devalues the client's beliefs.
