Answer to Question 1

A
Cultural negotiation is the nurse's ability to work within a patient's cultural belief system to develop culturally appropriate interventions. Only by suggesting a modification of the technique of skin scraping so as to perform it in a manner that will not cause injury or the potential for infection can the nurse reflect cultural negotiation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter thought to exert a braking force on anxiety. A GABA deficit is implicated in generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. The other options have not been suggested as factors by research studies.
