Answer to Question 1

A
Fluids before bedtime may cause nocturia. Some patients experience gastric reflux after a large meal. Nurses need to adjust temperature to the needs of the patient. Many patients are required to have machinery 24 hours a day.

Answer to Question 2

D
Present time orientation is in conflict with the dominant organizational norm in health care emphasizing punctuality and adherence to appointments. Nurses should expect conflicts and make adjustments when dealing with other ethnic groups. Improving the accessibility of health services so time schedules accommodate cultural patterns may assist patients with making appointments and referrals.
