Answer to Question 1

C
Self-knowledge is being aware of your religious and cultural beliefs and values. Taking the pulse is an example of practical knowledge. Following client wishes and honoring client requests are examples of ethical knowledge.

Answer to Question 2

C
Practical knowledge is knowing what to do and how to do it, such as how to make an assessment. The others are examples of theoretical knowledge, anatomy (tricuspid valve), facts (type 1 diabetes), and research (intravenous pain medication).
