Answer to Question 1

B
Increased sensitivity to sunlight is one of the most common side effects of antipsychotic agents. The patient will need to be instructed about the importance of using a sunscreen at all times when in the sun.

Answer to Question 2

C
Incorporating the value of culture into all levels of care is desirable. Eliminating all staff bias is unlikely, hiring significant numbers of minority health care providers is not appropriate or realistic, and keeping access to care open for minority groups would be an act that is independent of cultural sensitivity.
