Answer to Question 1

C
Haitian-American patients may be more likely to feel they are receiving effective treatment when a nurse is seen. In Haiti, a nurse is given more authority and status than a physician, and the patient may be more cooperative with directions given by a nurse. When nursing measures are being implemented (e.g., taking the patient's blood pressure), the nurse should tell the patient verbally what is being done and that it is for the patient's benefit. Actions by the nurse are related to being helped. Many Haitians believe that leaves have a special significance in healing. Leaves may be found in the clothes and on various parts of the body. Leaves are thought to have mystical power related to regaining or keeping health.

Answer to Question 2

C
The purpose of licensing laws for LPN/LVNs is to protect the public from unqualified practitioners.
