Answer to Question 1

D
The medical diagnosis is concerned with the patient's disease state, causes, and cures, whereas the nursing diagnosis focuses on the patient's response to stress and possible caring interventions. Both tools consider culture. The DSM-IV-TR is multiaxial. Nursing diagnoses also consider potential problems.

Answer to Question 2

B
Mental dysfunction can lead to incorrect perception of time, causing the client to be continually late. In addition, some cultures do not see schedules and specific appointment times as important, causing the client to be continually late in the eyes of the caregiver. Environmental control refers to an individual's need to control his or her perception of the environment. Comfort zones are highly culture based, meaning that individual interpretation of personal space varies among cultures. Territorial needs provide a sense of identity and security for some clients.
