Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Culture has a profound impact on nearly every aspect of the human experience, but this is especially true in the expression of belief. Ethnopharmacology demonstrates that there are differences in medication responses, but this effect is less influential than the effect of culture on grieving.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
In cultural care repatterning/restructuring, the nurse educates the client to change practices that are not conducive to health. Accommodating the practice or advocating its spread does not exemplify repatterning/restructuring.
