Answer to Question 1

D
Training in community living averts hospitalization. It allows for the assessment of patient skills and the establishment of realistic collaborative goals. Staff contact is reduced as patient function improves.

Answer to Question 2

B
In addition to the objective and subjective viewpoints, the nurse's cultural perspective would include the contextual viewpoint. The contextual viewpoint refers to the context of the cross-cultural encounter, which includes the broader cultural, socioeconomic, and political inferences operating within the health care system and affecting the client and nurse.
