Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Poverty prevents many people from consistently meeting their basic human needs. Limited means of transportation, decreased access to health care services, and an increased incidence of disease are also influenced by limited income, but meeting one's basic human needs is the most important factor.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Pain is what the client says it is, and nursing care should always be individualized. The nurse respects the client's right to respond to pain in whatever manner is culturally and individually appropriate and never stereotypes a client's perceptions or responses to pain. Pain tolerance is subjective; again, the client's pain is what she says it is.
