Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The nurse should accept this behavior as a cultural norm. All other choices are inappropriate and do not consider the client's cultural or family values.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The nurse should explain the procedure to both the client and the client's family member. Asking another staff member to obtain the client's vital signs is inappropriate. The spouse does not need to leave the client's room. Performing an intervention without first discussing it and asking for permission may be interpreted as assault.
