Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Many people in poverty suffer discrimination and stigma. This subculture has been studied through research, and the government has made strides to assist. The other groups listed here have not been as clearly defined and studied.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Option 1 is incorrect because it is better to share patient education verbally so that the client can be asked whether there are questions. Option 2 is incorrect because relatives may distort infor-mation. Option 3: Translators simply restate words from one language to another verbatim, whereas an interpreter provides meaning. It is better to use an interpreter than a translator, so op-tion 4 is correct.
