Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Spiritual rituals, medicine men, herbs, homemade drugs, and mechanical interventions can be used by Native American people to treat illness. Treatment does not necessarily conflict with belief in a Great Creator and the nursing assessment process is not linked to punishment. Feeling and care are not absent among Native Americans.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
It is important for older adults to incorporate good fluid intake, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables to promote bowel health.
