B Tay-Sachs disease is linked to Ashkenazi Jews.
C Lactose intolerance is frequently observed among Southern Asians.
D According to Health Canada (2011), the prevalence of tuberculosis among First Nations and Inuit peoples is eight to ten times higher than the national average.

Answer to Question 2

B
Whistleblowing (i.e., reporting a colleague's errors, incompetence, unsafe/negligent practice, or client abuse) is one of the most difficult things a nurse has to do to ensure safe, compassionate, competent, and ethical care. If the other nurse has not filled out the incident report, then the nurse should.
Filling out the incident report with the client's physician is not an appropriate action.
Asking the client to fill out the incident report is not an appropriate action.
Reporting the incident to the Canadian Nursing Association is not an appropriate action.
