Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse's assessment would not be based on displays of objective signs of mental illness as defined by the DSM-IV due to differing cultural norms for behavior. What may be seen as a clear sign of mental illness in one culture (e.g., talking to spirits, spontaneous chanting) could be perfectly normal in the client's culture. The nurse must use all of the information available, including knowledge of the client's culture, to make an assessment.

Answer to Question 2

C
This is an example of countertransference . Countertransference occurs when the nurse experiences strong emotional feelings toward the client. These feelings are most like the feelings the nurse probably felt toward her own mother or some other significant person in the nurse's life.
