Answer to Question 1

D
In some traditional Arab cultures, a woman will not make eye contact with any man except her husband and may not be touched by another man. Having only male staff in the emergency room on this shift would block necessary care. Arrangements would have to be made to have a female staff member come to the emergency room to assist in client care. The other options should not cause a problem.

Answer to Question 2

A
The patient sees self as needing multiple explanations of new tasks at work and allows the parents to make decisions, even though she is 40 years old. These behaviors indicate a poorly developed self-concept.
