Answer to Question 1

1,2,5
Rationale: The corrected entry should be labeled wrong patient, or other appropriate terminology.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The culturally competent nurse understands that people from different cultures might express or evidence pain in different ways, so adequate pain assessment must consider this. It is not necessary to assign a nurse from a similar culture. Asking the client how people from his culture demonstrate pain is culturally insensitive because it indicates stereotyping; not all people from a given culture respond identically. Most postoperative clients require pain management, but each client requires individualized care.
