Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should conclude that the client disapproves of the treatment. It may indicate that the client disapproves of the procedure but, due to cultural practices, does not openly verbalize his disapproval. Asian Americans may not openly disagree with authority figures, such as physicians and nurses, because of their respect for harmony. Such reticence can conceal disagreement or potential noncompliance with a particular therapeutic regimen that is unacceptable from their perspective. The client, however, does not show any sign of understanding the procedure, nor does he openly make any comments on the procedure. He also does not give any indication of surprise with regard to the complexity of the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
METs allow a comparison of the relative energy demands of different activities; activities assigned higher METs consume more energy and are more vigorous. METs do not directly address glucose needs, cellular metabolism, or the timing of exercise.
