Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Touching is an important component of communication in various cultures, but if the client appears to find it offensive, the nurse should respect her cultural beliefs and limit touching her. Asking the charge nurse to reassign you could be offensive to the client. A Muslim's response to touch does not reflect like or dislike. By continuing to touch her, the nurse is showing disrespect for her cultural beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Pregnancy tasks are more complex for the multipara (gravida 6), and she may need special assistance to integrate the infant into the family structure. A primipara from an upper income family has the financial resources to assist her with daily care of the home. This leaves her free to concentrate on the newborn's needs. The primipara with a large support system has help available to her. The multipara (gravida 2) who has a supportive husband and mother has a support system to assist with integrating the infant into the family structure.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
