Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: By giving the client choices, the nurse helps to relieve some of the client's anxiety by giving the client a measure of control for how his care will be provided. Calling the client by his first name is disrespectful. Placing the client in a hospital gown, while necessary, makes the client feel like less of an individual. Leaving the client alone in a strange environment could make him feel more anxious and alone.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The person who lives in a neighborhood with other recent immigrants from the same culture will not have much exposure to the culture in the new area, and is more likely to have delayed acculturation. Clients living in a diverse neighborhood or with those who have lived in the U.S. for an extended period of time are more likely to acculturate. Having children in school will increase the client's exposure to the culture of the new area.
