Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The Vietnamese culture prefers same-sex health care providers and the client may be extremely uncomfortable when the nurse does not provide this. The nurse needs to gather additional data by asking the client his preferences and allowing verbalization of his discomfort. Continuing the delivery of care by obtaining a blood sugar reading, offering reassurance about the examination being over quickly, or continuing the examination are all inappropriate as they do not address the client's feelings of discomfort.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Chinese Americans believe that health is maintained by the balance of two forces; yin and yang. This belief supports the request for the two temperature variations in the client's meals. None of the other choices (Cuban Americans, Jewish Americans, and Native Americans) support this practice.
