Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Many culturally based therapies can be accommodated along with the use of Western treatments and medications. The nurse should attempt to use both traditional folk treatments and the ordered Western therapies as much as possible. Some culturally based treatments can be effective in treating Western diseases. Not all folk remedies interfere with Western therapies. It may be appropriate for the patient to continue some culturally based treatments while he or she is hospitalized.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The use of gestures will enable some information to be communicated to the patient. The other actions will not improve communication with the patient.
