Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 2: Asking many questions to explore all areas of concern does not support an accurate assessment.
Rationale 3: Asking yes/no questions does not support an accurate assessment.
Rationale 4: The nurse should consider how the client's behaviors are influenced by culture. In order to understand what is being said or seen, the nurse should investigate the client's culture prior to the interview.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: It is normal for the adult's functional self-esteem to fluctuate related to daily events and problems. Functional self-esteem can exceed basic self-esteem or can regress to a level lower than basic self-esteem. While reflection on actions is important to prevent further errors, the nurse should not focus on the bad things that have happened.
