Answer to Question 1

2 Rationale: It is very important for the nurse to be familiar with common health problems that affect cultural, ethnic, or religious groups. This client has a higher risk of developing cardiovascular problems because of the client's ethnic background. Although it is important to note the client's history of colon cancer, people who have colon cancer do not necessarily have a higher risk of suffering from a myocardial infarction. People who have a daughter with polycystic ovaries do not necessarily have a high risk of experiencing a myocardial infarction. It is important to note that the client is lactose intolerant when developing a diet for this client. However, people who are lactose intolerant do not necessarily have a higher risk of experiencing a myocardial infarction.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
