Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Although the research base underlying treatments may be important to some patients, relating it does not help the nurse understand or address ethnic diversity among patients. Standardized diets ignore patients' food choice preferences, which are often culturally related. Although travel and language study may broaden a nurse's appreciation for other cultures, the most direct step is to value and respect the life stories that patients share.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Clients with dentures still require visits to the dentist. Dental caries are less common among older adults than younger adults, while the opposite is true of periodontal disease. Numerous health problems can underlie dental health problems.
