Answer to Question 1

A
Culture encompasses the dynamic and integrated structures that are unique to a particular group of people: knowledge, beliefs, behaviors, ideas, attitudes, values, habits, customs, languages, symbols, rituals, ceremonies, and practices. These structures provide general guidelines for the people who belong to a particular culture.

Answer to Question 2

D
Usually the health history is obtained before the physical examination, but in emergency situations or when performing care in a health care facility after the initial admitting assessment, it will be necessary to incorporate history-taking into the physical examination.
