Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Cultures with a predominant orientation to the present include the Mexican American, Navajo Native American, Appalachian, Eskimo, and Filipino American cultures. Schedules have to be very flexible in present-oriented societies. Time constraints are not significant for cultures that are oriented to the present, so advertising about specific classes may not be effective. The nurse must be quite flexible, treat the culture's beliefs with respect, and not expect that cultural practices will change to reflect the nurse's needs.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

An advanced beginner demonstrates marginally acceptable performance. A competent nurse has 2 or 3 years of experience and demonstrates organizational and planning abilities. A proficient nurse has 3 to 5 years of experience and has holistic understanding of the client, which improves decision making. An expert demonstrates highly skilled intuitive and analytic ability in new situations.
