Answer to Question 1

1,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Direct eye contact may be interpreted by some cultures as demonstrating a lack of respect

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: A foul odor emanating from the cast indicates the possibility of infection, and could cause septicemia if not noted and treated immediately. The nurse should report this finding to the RN, and the cast will likely be removed, or a window cut in the cast, to assess the arm further.
