Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
After a Navajo child's delivery, the umbilical cord is taken from the newborn, dried, and buried near a place that symbolizes what parents want for the child's future. Catholics do not have spe-cial care of the umbilical cord after delivery. They may want their newborn baptized if there is any chance of the newborn not surviving. Shintos have no special rituals related to birth, includ-ing the umbilical cord. Hindus have no special rituals related to birth, including the umbilical cord.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Current evidence has shown that relaxation exercises and guided imagery improve immune func-tion. So a normal white cell count in a client diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder would be considered evidence of the therapeutic nature of the guided imagery. There is no known connec-tion to these other options.
