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.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
