Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, E

The child is not responding to environmental noise and is having difficulty tracking the movement of toys. The two tests that should be considered for this child are vision and hearing testing. There is not enough evidence to support that the child would need a CT scan of the brain, abdominal x-rays, or nerve conduction studies.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

It is the nurse's role to promote the act of bridging, linking, or mediating between groups of people from different cultural systems to reduce conflict or produce change. Calling the neighbor's comment discriminatory may increase conflict. Rationalizing or failing to confront the neighbor's perceptions does not promote cultural brokering.
