Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Asian clients may provide the nurse with the answers they think the nurse wants to hear. This behavior is consistent with their cultural value for harmonious relationships with others. The other responses do not recognize this cultural variation among this population that the nurse should recognize.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Infants and young children are at great risk for accidental injuries. The leading cause of injury death for children under the age of 1 year is accidental suffocation due to choking or strangulation. Thus, it is important for the nurse to talk with the young mother about the dangers of toys with small pieces. Safety of the infant should be the primary concern of the nurse in this situation. Saving money on toys will not necessarily allow the young mother to be able to purchase more fruits and vegetables. The infant is nine-months old and would not be considered a toddler yet. It is not apparent in this situation if the toys are age appropriate for the infant or would provide the appropriate amount of stimulation for a child at this developmental level.
