Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. To know is not to be self-aware and is not to appreciate other cultures, their practices, beliefs, and values.
B Correct. Cultural sensitivity means having an awareness and appreciation of cultural influences in health care and being respectful of differences in cultural belief systems and values.
C Incorrect. Cultural sensitivity must be broader than any single ethnic group or experience.
D Incorrect. Knowledge informs awareness, conferences are always great for CE credits, but does not necessarily rise to the level of respectfulness.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct: The nurse is assessing a 5-year-old child. In checking the heart rate, the nurse finds an increase of 25 beats then the child changes from a lying to a standing position. This increase in heart rate is indicative of hypovolemia. A postural change in heart rate is a useful cue in assessing fluid status in children over 4 years of age.
B Incorrect: This increase in heart rate is not indicative of hypervolemia.
C Incorrect: This increase in heart rate is not indicative of normal findings.
D Incorrect: This increase in heart rate is not indicative of left-sided heart failure.
