Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Loss of a child is among the highest-risk situations for maladaptive grieving. The parents who throw flowers on the lake on each anniversary date of the accident are openly expressing their feelings. Enrolling their other children in swimming lessons shows the parents' love of the surviving children and interest in their safety. Purchasing life vests for other children is a way of memorializing their child who drowned. The other behaviors indicate the parents are isolating themselves and/or denying their feelings.

Answer to Question 2

D
The correct answer is the most global response. Cultural competence requires ongoing effort. Culture is dynamic, diversified, and changing. The nurse must be prepared to gain cultural knowledge and determine nursing care measures that patients find acceptable and helpful. Interpreting the thinking of individual patients does not ensure culturally competent care. Reducing a patient's ethnocentrism may not be a desired outcome.
