Answer to Question 1

2, 5
Rationale: The nurse should expect that both Native Americans and Asian Americans may be difficult to assess for mood and affect. In both cultures, expressing emotions is difficult. Native Americans are encouraged to not communicate private thoughts. Asian Americans may have a reserved public demeanor and may be perceived as shy or uninterested.
