Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In Chinese health beliefs, the forces termed yin and yang must be kept in balance to maintain health. This belief is not consistent with Australian aborigines, Native Americans, or African-Americans.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
It is essential for the nurse to respect the religious practices of the child and family. The nurse should arrange a dietary consultation to ensure that nutritionally complete vegetarian meals are prepared by the hospital kitchen. The nurse should be able to arrange for a vegetarian tray. The nurse should not encourage the child and parent to go against their religious beliefs. Nutritionally complete, acceptable vegetarian meals should be provided.
