Answer to Question 1

C
Care plans that are culturally relevant are vital for providing sensitive care to patients from diverse cultures.
Culturally relevant care is the prime goal when working with diverse patients. Just because all patients meet the outcomes set forth does not mean that this overarching goal was met.
Patients may be compliant for many different reasons, but this does not demonstrate culturally competent care.
Patients can understand expectations, but that does not mean they will follow through or find them important. A culturally competent care plan is one that is culturally relevant.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nurses who are in treatment for a protected disability such as drug addiction do not have a public record connected with that disability, so if these nurses have had disciplinary action taken that is reported in a public format, the nurse can conclude that they are not in compliance.
Drug addiction is covered under the ADA.
The numbers of nurses with drug addiction problems is not related directly to licensure actions.
The state board increasing typical sanctions for drug dependency would not be related to reporting licensure actions.
