Answer to Question 1

C
If a client complains of dizziness when moving from a reclining position to a standing position, the nurse should assess the positional blood pressures, lying, sitting, and standing, looking for significant variations between the pressures. This occurs when an abnormally low blood pressure is caused by the inability of the peripheral blood vessels to compensate for the quick change in positions.

Answer to Question 2

B
European Americans are generally future oriented and are cognizant of the time at which certain things begin or end, while Asian Americans are oriented to the past, and Native Americans and African Americans are oriented to the present.
