Answer to Question 1

D
Folk healers are knowledgeable about cultural norms and are usually familiar to the one seeking care. Nurses must be able to relate care and treatment to the patient's cultural context to incorporate informal caregivers, healers, and other members of the patient's support system as allies in treatment.

Answer to Question 2

A
An elevated hematocrit is seen in dehydration and polycythemia. A low hematocrit is seen in leukemia and hemorrhage. A low red blood cell count is associated with anemia.
