Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Culture shock is the helpless feeling and state of disorientation felt by an outsider attempting to adapt to a different culture group. Her inability to speak English inhibits her ability to interact. This would explain Maria's inability to function in this new situation. There is no evidence to support that Maria lacks adequate culture or maturity needed in school, or that she is experiencing minority group discrimination.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The rate of tuberculosis among migrant families is high. A high-risk factor for the children of migrant families is the migration of the families from areas that have high prevalence of tuberculosis; significant health issues, suicide, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are not more prevalent in this population.
