Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Nurses need to make a conscious decision to acknowledge and value the diversity in others. Developing cultural competence and sensitivity needed for comprehensive care is based on new knowledge, personal self-assessment, supervised practice, mentoring experiences, experience in culturally diverse clinical practice settings, participation in discussions, and diversity training.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: It is insufficient to base the nursing response to the adolescent's needs and dilemmas solely on behaviors without a more comprehensive evaluation of other factors. Part of the assessment will include gathering data regarding the foster parents' disciplinary practices. Telling them they need to be more therapeutic, not punitive, is inappropriate and nontherapeutic. Part of being therapeutic is holding the child accountable for his actions, which may result in punitive consequences. The nurse will not notify the authorities unless there is evidence to suggest the adolescent is being harmed by his parent's disciplinary actions. The nurse will provide the information to the psychiatrist, but not until the assessment data is complete.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
