Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The best action is to send the valuables home with family. If the client has no family, most hospitals have provisions for the valuable to be given to Security for safekeeping in a locked safe in the business office. The client may opt to keep the items, but might need to sign a waiver of facility liability in case anything is stolen or lost. The nurse's station is not an option for keeping clients' valuables.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Ethnocentrism means interpreting the beliefs and behavior in terms of one's own cultural values and traditions
