Answer to Question 1

A
The proper course of action is to immediately begin answering after the person has finished asking his question, because this is considered most appropriate in European American culture. Different cultures have different protocols regarding responding to one another during conversation. Hispanic people tend to respond before the original speaker has finished talking. European Americans tend to respond immediately after the person stops talking. Asian people tend to respond only after waiting a few seconds in silence after the person has finished talking. In all of these cultures, responding too early or too late (based on their norms) could be considered undesirable.

Answer to Question 2

B
Patients with repeated inpatient or crisis-unit admissions are identified among patients who can benefit from in-home psychiatric nursing services.
