Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
According to Mattson (2009), in Asian countries, where families are very involved in patient care, it

health care facilities, if the nurse does not ensure that these services are done, staff members could
view this nurse as a slacker who is not completing his job duties.
