Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
The answers provide information about cultural values related to the importance of individuality, material possessions, relational connectedness, community needs versus individual needs, and interconnectedness between humans and nature. These will assist the nurse to determine a patient's worldview. Other follow-up questions are needed to validate findings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The assessment depends on communication. The nurse should first determine whether an interpreter is needed. The other information can be subsequently assessed.
