Answer to Question 1

B
Give family the option to view or not view the body, and offer to accompany them.
Dentures should be left in the mouth to maintain normal mouth contour. Clarify personal belongings that are to stay with the body or who has taken personal items. Each facility follows legal guidelines for the care of a body.

Answer to Question 2

C
When a nurse learns the variations in how people of different cultures communicate, he or she will likely gather more accurate information from patients. For example, patients of Spanish and French heritage use firm eye contact when speaking. However, this is considered rude among Asian and Middle Eastern cultures.
