Answer to Question 1

D
Many Haitians believe that leaves have a special significance in healing. Leaves may be found in the clothes and on various parts of the body. Leaves are thought to have mystical power related to regaining or keeping health. Some Haitian-Americans associate wheelchairs with being sick. Therefore on discharge the patient who is allowed to walk out of the hospital will be more likely to feel that care has been effective. A poor patient with a Haitian background and a wealthy patient with Haitian background, although from the same country, may find the same room assignment together in the hospital very distasteful.

Answer to Question 2

B
The appropriate training emphasizes vocational/technical education.
