Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Self-reflection implies thinking that regards how I, the individual, perceives/believes/behaves. Awareness of one's thoughts and feelings about others who are culturally different from oneself is necessary to become culturally aware. No culture is worthy of biased treatment. Solid science is an ethnocentric principle.

Answer to Question 2

B
Anorexia is a symptom of urinary tract infection, which occurs frequently in older adults. Sub-clinical infection and inflammation can occur with presenting symptoms such as acute confusion, functional capacity deterioration, anorexia, or nausea rather than the classic symptoms of fever and dysuria. Although all actions are appropriate, the nurse suspecting a urinary tract infection (UTI) will assess eating patterns.
