Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Ethnohistory refers to significant historical experiences of a particular group; the other options are all necessary to conduct a cultural assessment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Examining metabolic functioning, the nurse uses anthropometric measurements. Immobilized patients will lose skin fat, thus indicating a decrease in nutritional status. The major musculo-skeletal changes identified during assessment of the immobilized patient include decreased mus-cle strength, loss of muscle tone and mass, and contractures. Because immobilized patients are weakened, determine if difficulty in moving joints is the result of fatigue or decreased range of joint motion.
