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.
