Answer to Question 1

B
Stimulation of the sole of the infant's foot demonstrates the plantar reflex, in which the toes curl downward.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Because the patient is from a nondominant culture, the best outcome of care would be for the patient to understand the signs of the complication developing again so that medical treatment can be obtained as soon as possible. An outcome that the patient will return to normal activities of daily living may not be appropriate because of the complication. The patient may consult with cultural healers about the complication, but it is unclear if the complication can be treated by them. Expecting the patient to follow medical advice and keep all scheduled appointments does not necessarily take the patient's cultural needs into consideration.
