Answer to Question 1

ANS: D

The client's correct performance of the procedure under the nurse's supervision is the best proof of her ability. Demonstration is an excellent teaching method, but not an evaluation method. During verbalization of the procedure, the nurse may not pick up on techniques that are incorrect. It is not the best tool for evaluation. Routinely assessing the infant for cleanliness will not ensure that the proper procedure is carried out. The nurse may miss seeing that unsafe techniques being used.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
Preliminary social interaction is important, and Hispanics may be insulted if a problem is addressed directly without taking time for small talk. The curandero, a folk healer, may be consulted for health care before a professional health care worker is consulted. Spanish is the primary language for many Hispanics in their homes, although they may speak English fluently when working. The nurse should establish if Spanish is preferred over English. Direct, full eye contact is not considered polite in the Hispanic culture. Men usually serve as head of household and are considered strong (macho). Asking the husband to wait in the waiting area would not be appropriate.
