Answer to Question 1

4
Within the Hispanic culture, the client and family may not want to die in the hospital because the spirit may get lost and will not be able to find its way home. The reason the family and client want to return home is not because of a distrust of hospital caregivers. The family may want to have a spiritual healer conduct a ceremony for the client, but this does not need to be done in the home. Members of the Hispanic culture do not believe that it is bad luck to die in the hospital.

Answer to Question 2

2
Complaints of numbness and tingling around the intravenous infusion catheter could indicate nerve damage. The nurse should remove the cannula, document the complaint, and notify the physician if the symptoms do not resolve after the cannula is removed. Applying heat will not be helpful. Elevating the extremity is not indicated for suspected nerve damage. Slowing the intravenous infusion rate will not reduce the likelihood of nerve damage and should not be done.
