Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The best nursing care (including teaching) is a collaborative effort between nurse and patient. Each participant has knowledge and shares the power of determining what is to be learned. The best outcomes result in patient cooperation, because the patient was instrumental in developing them. The other actions might be helpful in specific situations, but involving the patient (or family) is always appropriate and vital.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Cultural influences include family support systems, religious and spiritual beliefs, customs and traditions, communication patterns, coping strategies, and problem-solving techniques. Asking about insurance coverage is not directly related to culture, although this can give information about the patient/family's living environment and ability to access resources.
