Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Many people in poverty suffer discrimination and stigma which places them at risk for de-pression and other anxiety-related illnesses. The other subcultures do not present with the same or greater degree of risk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Misunderstanding occurs when the nurse fails to take into account culture-specific interaction patterns. Silence, infrequent eye contact, shame, fear, and language barriers all affect a pa-tient's ability to interact. In light of the patient's cultural diversity, the other options are less likely to be pertinent.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
