Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Answer option 4 is correct because the nurse must consider the family roles of clients from another culture, and adapt care to the client. Options 1, 2, and 3 would demonstrate a lack of understanding by the nurse of the differences of the client's culture.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Fear of the unknown might be causing increased anxiety, even though the transfer to a stepdown unit indicates progress.
