Answer to Question 1

A
A reduced sensitivity to odours means that the client may be unable to smell a smouldering fire. The client should use smoke detectors on every level of the home as a safety measure.
A home safety measure specific for the client with diminished vision is the use of extra lighting in hallways.
A home safety measure specific for the client with diminished hearing is the use of amplified telephone receivers.
A home safety measure specific for the client with reduced tactile sensation is having mild wa-ter-heater temperatures.

Answer to Question 2

B
Aboriginal life choices and the responsibility to choose, and a belief in living day by day may help to explain why the client does not appear interested in discussing the future of his diabetes management.
The statement His cultural time orientation is to the past is not a determining factor for future needs.
The statement He believes that there is no point in worrying about what has not yet happened does not reflect Aboriginal values or beliefs.
The statement His belief is that time will heal his condition does not reflect Aboriginal values or beliefs.
