Answer to Question 1

A
For nursing care to individuals and groups to be effective, it must be culturally competent in every aspect of the process, from assessment through evaluation. Culture plays a profound role in individuals' perceptions of and beliefs about health and illness, and nurses must understand and respect the cultural values and beliefs of individuals for whom they will be providing care.

Answer to Question 2

B
Abdominal assessment involves inspection, auscultation, percussion, and palpation of the organs of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems.
