Answer to Question 1

A
Communication and culture are interrelated in the way individuals express feelings verbally and nonverbally. When a nurse learns the variations in how people of different cultures communicate, he or she will likely gather more accurate information from patients. Validation of assessment data is the comparison of data with another source to confirm accuracy. A collaborative problem is an actual or potential physiological complication that nurses monitor to detect the onset of changes in a patient's status. Defining characteristics are the clinical criteria or assessment find-ings that support an actual nursing diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

A
Assisted living provides independence, security, and privacy at the same time. These facilities promote independence and physical and psychosocial health. Services in an assisted living facil-ity include medication management, exercise and educational activities, social activities, laundry, assistance with meals and personal care, 24-hour oversight, and housekeeping. Respite care is a service that provides short-term relief or time off for people providing home care to an ill, dis-abled, or frail older adult. Nursing center is a nursing home; this is too early to recommend be-cause the widow wants to maintain independence. Rehabilitation is the use of multiple therapies such as physical, psychological, occupational, speech, and social services to help restore a person to the fullest physical, mental, social, vocational, and economic usefulness possible; this is not appropriate because the widow can provide self-care.
