Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

During special religious events Muslims participate in fasting during the daylight hours. The diabetic client who engages in fasting and the nurse providing care will face unique challenges. The lack of pork in the diet does not hinder dietary planning. Lamb and chicken provide adequate, healthful alternatives. The respect for elders in the family has no impact on the successful plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Ethnocentrism is the belief of one's personal beliefs to be superior to those held by others. The best manner in which to begin to manage and reduce these feelings is to begin the process of self-awareness. Simply reducing the comments and displays of frustration will not address the root cause of the problem. The underlying cause must be handled to resolve the issue. Administering a written reprimand will not handle the existing problem. Counseling and discipline may be warranted later in the process if the behaviors continue or worsen.
