Answer to Question 1

B
Culture refers to the behavior, customs, and beliefs of a client's family, extended family, tribe, nation, and society that influence the way the person views wellness and responds to illness.
Every day, nurses encounter people who are different from them in many ways, yet who are similar to them in needing to achieve the basic needs described in Maslow's hierarchy. Nurses must recognize that the ways in which individuals seek to meet these needs vary widely and must respect these differences.

Answer to Question 2

C
Verbal communication involves using words, either in speaking or in writing, to send messages. For example, a nurse might discuss a client's plan of care with assistive personnel. It is important to remember that both speaking and listening must occur for spoken communication between sender and receiver to take place. In written communication, the person receiving the message must both read and understand the words involved and attach meaning to them.
