Answer to Question 1

D
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. Although knowledge of cultural concepts and beliefs is important for a nurse, the nurse must always remember that each client is an individual, regardless of his or her cultural background.

Answer to Question 2

B
If unable to use the brachial artery to obtain a blood pressure, the next most appropriate route would be to use the popliteal artery.
