  b. The kids may need some time to get used to your teaching style.
  c. This culture might see group achievement as highly important.
  d. Your prizes may not be culturally relevant for these children.

Answer to Question 1

C
Americans place great value on individualism and value individual achievement over group achievement. Not all cultures have this value. Cultures that value group achievement and work would not place value on games and prizes, which focus on individual accomplishment. The nurse should consider that this minority group is uncomfortable with this teaching style, because it rewards individuals to the exclusion of the group.
Even complex material such as diabetic education should be amenable to fun, interactive teaching styles. This option also does not address the issue of culture.
It may be true that the children need more time to get used to the nurse's teaching style, but this does not consider cultural influences for the behavior the nurse is seeing.
The nurse should assess whether the prizes are something children from this culture will find appealing, but this is not the most likely cause for their lack of interest because it would be unusual for all the prizes to simply be unappealing to all of the children. The explanation is most likely broader in nature.

Answer to Question 2

B
Assuming multiple roles can result in many types of role stress and lead to role strain.
Rotating shifts and strict schedules can contribute to role stress, but this answer is too narrow to account for the majority of role stress.
Not being able to provide care seen as needed can contribute to role stress, but this is too narrow to account for the majority of it.
This would lead to role overload, a cause of role stress, but it is too narrow an option to account for the majority of role stress.
