Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The infant is not giving cues indicating a need to pass gas or be burped.
B Incorrect. The infant is not giving cues indicating a need to have a bowel movement.
C Correct. The infant is giving cues indicating a need or want to disengage and take a break from feeding.
D Incorrect. The infant is not giving cues indicating a need to take a nap.

Answer to Question 2

D
The cultural needs of the dying patient are usually unique to a given culture. Attending to cultural needs regarding death is just as important as providing palliative care. Cultural care is affected by language barriers, because the patient may not be able to communicate needs and the staff may misinterpret the actions of the person of another culture
