Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The H in ETHNIC stands for healers: Has the patient sought advice from alternative health practitioners? While health, history, and homeland are important, they are not components of H.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Direct your questions to the patient. Look at the patient, instead of looking at the interpreter. Pace your speech by using short sentences, but do not break your sentences. Observe the patient's nonverbal and verbal behaviors.
