Answer to Question 1
ANS: D
This patient of German descent would hold a Western worldview and be stoic about pain. This patient will keep pain as silent as possible and be reluctant to disclose pain unless the nurse actively assesses for it. The patient's nonverbal communication suggests pain rather than EPS. The patient would probably not respond positively to prayer or the nurse's rocking behavior.
Answer to Question 2

The distracters are cold foods.
