Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The patient is from a culture that avoids eating white foods.. The first thing that the nurse should do is assess what white foods are. From this information, the nurse could then determine appropriate diet teaching for the patient. The nurse needs to do more than document that white foods are avoided. The nurse needs to know what white foods are before explaining their nutritional value. Discussing why white foods are avoided demonstrates cultural insensitivity.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Treatment of severe fibrocystic breast disease may include the use of tamoxifen, bromocriptine or, danazol. Penicillin would be used to treat an infection such as mastitis.
