Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Obtaining a culturally competent assessment is not the primary need.
B Receiving food security is not the primary need.
C When assessing members of a vulnerable population, it is important to create a comfortable, nonthreatening environment. The nurse may only have one opportunity to work with the vulnerable person or family. Creating a comfortable and nonthreatening environment will encourage the client to participate in the assessment.
D Assessing for indications of mental or physical abuse is important but is not the primary need.

Answer to Question 2

B
Serum calcium and phosphate have an inverse relationship. When one is elevated, the other decreases, except in some patients with end-stage renal disease. Increased serum calcium would not necessarily cause changes in levels of potassium, sodium, or magnesium.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
