Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Dietary practices are lifestyle habits that will influence the patient's ability to adhere to the treatment plan. Education level or social environment may or may not influence patient adherence to the dietary recommendations. Age should not influence the patient's ability to adhere to the dietary recommendations.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: According to Leininger, the role of the nurse is to provide culturally congruent care. The nurse's first obligation is to her patient. She can help mitigate any impact the ceremony may have on the other patients. There is no indication that the shaman's visit would interfere with other treatment. Care procedures should support an individual's values and beliefs.
