Answer to Question 1

D
The term cultural diversity refers to differences among people resulting from racial, ethnic, and cultural variables. In countries like the United States, a wide variety of cultural groups have contributed to society in many ways. When there are differences among and between cultural groups in a country, this diversity can contribute to social problems because of misunderstanding and unfamiliarity with different cultures. Some of these social problems result from bias or prejudice of individuals or groups toward other groups.

Answer to Question 2

D
Palpation refers to the nurse's use of touch to determine the client's skin texture, temperature, or moisture; location and size of organs; and any masses, tenderness, swelling, or vibrations in the organs. To palpate, the nurse places finger pads flat against the client's skin, exerting slight pressure for light palpation; deep palpation, which is performed by experienced nurses, requires application of more pressure to abdominal organs such as the liver and bowel.
