Answer to Question 1

1,2,3,5
Rationale: All facilities are required to either check the client's chart or ask clients whether they have advance directives.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,5
Rationale: Use of pictures and charts, if applicable to the topic, is of particular value when teaching a client who speaks a different language, because pictures and charts can be interpreted by the client no matter what language is spoken. It is important to assess the client's comfort when discussing hygiene because some cultures find it inappropriate for a woman to discuss personal topics with a man who is not her father or husband. An interpreter is essential in providing understandable information. Smiling and nodding do not necessarily indicate understanding, and must be assessed by the nurse. A client who does not speak any English will not be helped by even the most basic English.
