Answer to Question 1

A
Many Asians and Asian-Americans believe that questioning an authority figure (nurse) would be disrespectful, so they do not ask for clarification when they do not understand directions for their treatment. Individuals of this culture are usually willing to comply once they understand. Written information may be provided later. Although hot and cold foods might be used by Asian-Americans, there is no evidence that this patient is interested in this therapy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Role-playing permits the patient to practice new behaviors in a safe setting and to develop comfort with the use of the new behaviors. The nurse plays a particular role and provides coaching and feedback. The other techniques given as options do not encourage the patient to practice new behaviors.
