Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Patients with peripheral vascular disease should not soak their feet. Soaking increases risk of infection because of maceration of the skin.
B Nails should be filed straight across and square.
C The patient with peripheral vascular disease should not cut corns or calluses or use commercial corn removers. The patient should consult a podiatrist.
D A patient with peripheral vascular disease should thoroughly inspect the feet daily or ask a family member to check daily.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Identifying the dominant culture is not the first step in a cultural health assessment.
B Whichever cultural assessment model is used, the nurse begins a cultural assessment by knowing population demographic changes in the practice setting.
C Assessing care expressions as well as patterns and practices of health is part of assessing influence and is not the first step in a cultural assessment.
D Ensuring biocultural ecology and health risks is not the first step in a cultural assessment.
