Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Many ethnic groups prefer certain foods as part of their cultural identity. The nurse should take this opportunity to learn foods preferred by the community. It cannot be assumed a supervisor would know preferred foods of the community. Making assumptions about the community or offering the leftovers to those who did not eat would not be culturally sensitive approaches for the nurse to take with this population.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Comprehensive prenatal care is particularly important for low-income women. It can help them obtain other services such as the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children program, food stamps, smoking cessation, housing, child care, job training, substance abuse treatment, and domestic violence counseling. Ideally, healthy behaviors should begin before the woman becomes pregnant. Prenatal care would not assure obtaining reduced costs for hospital care at the time of delivery. Although nurses do provide support by listening, the most important resource that nurse can provide is referral for other community resources.
