Answer to Question 1

B
For a visually impaired patient, identify yourself when entering the room. The nurse should communicate verbally before touching the patient who is visually impaired. Notify the patient when leaving the room; do not quietly leave the room when finished as the patient will think you are still in the room. Ensure that lighting is adequate for the patient to see the speaker; do not keep it dimly lit.

Answer to Question 2

D
Internal variables include a person's stage of growth and development, intellectual background, emotional factors, and spiritual factors. External variables include family practices, socioeconomic factors, and cultural background.
