Answer to Question 1

D
Objective data are observations or measurements of a patient's health status. Personal and de-mographic data refer to patient's name, age, sex, and so on. Subjective data are patients' verbal descriptions about their health problems. Demographic data includes birth, gender, address, fam-ily members' names and addresses.

Answer to Question 2

A
To determine the influence of culture on a family, you might want to ask the patient about his or her cultural background. Then ask questions concerning cultural practices. For example, What type of foods do you eat? Who cares for sick family members? Overgeneralizations in terms of racial and ethnic group characteristics do not lead to greater understanding of the culturally diverse family.
