Answer to Question 1

1,2,4
Rationale: Report on newly admitted clients should include diagnosis, age, general condition, plan of therapy, and information about the client's support people.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: People from European cultures tend to value personal space, and prefer to have at least three feet of distance between themselves and the person with whom they are communicating. Sitting close to the client or asking questions in an area where others can listen would be very uncomfortable for many people from this culture. Remaining standing is neither necessary nor indicated by the question.
