Answer to Question 1

2
Excess fluid in the intravascular space causes an elevation in blood pressure, and increased jugular venous pressure may be visible in distended neck veins. Poor skin turgor, dry mouth, and increased heart rate are findings consistent with fluid volume deficit.

Answer to Question 2

1
When delivering culturally competent nursing care, the nurse must be objective, unbiased, and nonjudgmental. The nurse should not be subjective, biased, or use a judgmental attitude.
