Answer to Question 1

Boom Correct answer

Answer to Question 2

Props to you, cheers.

Answer to Question 3

Answer: 3
Explanation: Cultural humility occurs when the nurse recognizes the limitations of his or her own culture and is motivated to learn about other cultures. Asking the patient to explain why the patient will only drink warm liquids and avoids cold liquid, demonstrates that the nurse is motivated to learn about the patient's culture. The nurse should not tell the patient that cold liquids will not make the patient's condition worse or that the warm liquids will not make the patient's condition better, as these are assumptions and not based on fact. The nurse will not suggest that the patient is not following the health care provider's suggestion.
