Answer to Question 1

B
In many Asian cultures, the oldest male family member (or if he is dead, the oldest female family member) makes important decisions, such as decisions regarding an adult son's health. The wife should not be ignored, however. When speaking with the patient's parents, look directly at them and speak formally (using Mr. and Mrs.) and respectfully. Response A is incorrect because the oldest family member makes the decisions. Response C is incorrect because it is too informal, and the wife should not be ignored. Response D is inappropriate because the family member may ask medical-related or nursing-related questions; if necessary, you can bring a translator with you to assist in communication.

Answer to Question 2

D
Signs and symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency include distended tortuous veins, hair loss, hyperpigmentation, cool or normal skin temperature, pretibial or pedal edema that resolves at night with rest and with elevation, and cyanosis when legs are dependent.
