Answer to Question 1

C
The best question will help the nurse understand a woman's importance in the culture. In a culture in which women play a lesser role, healing options may not be readily available. The distracters help assess culture-bound illness, relate to sick roles, pain expression, predominant symptoms, and are more related to general cultural factors rather than women's issues.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
A patient with hypomania is expansive, grandiose, labile, uses poor judgment, spends inappropriately, and is overstimulated by a busy environment. Providing structure would help the patient maintain appropriate behavior. Financial irresponsibility may be avoided by limiting access to cash and credit cards. Continued decline in sleep patterns may indicate the condition has evolved to full mania. Group socialization should be kept to a minimum to reduce stimulation. A full leave of absence from work will be necessary to limit stimuli and prevent problems associated with poor judgment and inappropriate decision making that accompany hypomania.
