Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Some Haitian Americans associate wheelchairs with being sick. Therefore, on discharge, the patient who is allowed to walk out of the hospital will be more likely to feel that care has been effective. A poor patient with a Haitian background and a wealthy patient with a Haitian background, although from the same country, may find the same room assignment together in the hospital very distasteful.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Fibrin in the clot begins to hold the wound together.
