Answer to Question 1

D
A nurse who understands that a patient's symptoms are influenced by culture will be able to advocate for the patient to a greater degree than a nurse who believes that culture is of little relevance. The distracters are untrue statements.

Answer to Question 2

A
Breath-holding usually does not occur prior to this age, but it can occur until approximately 5 years of age. Breath-holding resolves itself in 30 to 60 seconds. After the first incident, the child should be examined by a physician, but if no problems are identified, the best intervention for future incidents is ignoring the behavior.
