Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
People who are poor drug metabolizers have an increased risk of experiencing adverse drug effects by virtue of decreased enzyme activity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Introspection and self-analysis regarding one's own cultural background and membership in particular subcultures are important. Cultural sensitivity requires the nurse to develop awareness of his or her attitudes, beliefs, values, and communication style. This is a more effective starting place than researching or exploring other cultures prior to developing self-awareness.
