Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse is demonstrating cultural competence and using cross-cultural therapeutic health care skills by offering to allow the client to express herself. The nurse is imposing personal beliefs on expected behavior in the other options.

Answer to Question 2

D
Because the child shows no evidence of poor mental health, the best action would be to foster existing healthy characteristics and environmental supports. No other option is necessary or appropriate under the current circumstances.
