Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

The client who does not understand will learn little, and providing an interpreter to assist with communication is extremely important in this situation. However, if the prescribed treatment conflicts with the client/family's cultural healing beliefs, the client may not be compliant with the recommended treatments. To be effective, nurses must deal directly with any conflicts and differing values held by the client's parents. It is also important to provide written material and assess the psychomotor skills of the child, but the first priority is ascertaining any belief conflicts that may interfere with the treatment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, D

Health restoration focuses on the ill client. Health promotion enables individuals and communities to increase their control over the determinants of health and thus improve their health. Caring for the dying involves helping clients live as comfortably as possible until death. Illness prevention programs are designed to maintain optimal health by preventing disease. Care cost saving is not a core area of nursing competence.
