Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Culturally competent care means collaborating with the client to determine the client's preferences for medical care. The nurse should not assume that a foreign client will want a male or female doctor. Asking the healthcare providers to decide does not include the client's wishes.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

An altered level of consciousness would be a symptom of shunt malfunction and increasing intracranial pressure. In most children, by age 8, the cranial suture lines have fused, and the fontanelles are closed, so a bulging soft spot, expanding head size, or sunset eyes would not be common symptoms of shunt malfunction and an increase in intracranial pressure.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
