Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
HEENT stands for head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat. Endocrine is not included.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, E
CAM practices reflect ethnocultural beliefs (relating to a particular ethnic group), and a culturally competent nurse will take the time to become familiar with CAM practices in the diverse communities served. According to one study, only 4 of pediatricians communicate with CAM providers or initiate the recommendations of the CAM provider. All members of the same cultural group may not adhere to the same CAM practices (although many of them will), and the nurse should not stereotype members of the group and assume they do. CAM consists of multiple modalities such as herbal therapy, massage, biofeedback, and yoga. More than a third of adults in America use CAM therapies.
