C Tay-Sachs disease is common among Ashkenazi Jews.
D Diabetes mellitus is considered to be an epidemic in progress for Canadian Aboriginal peoples. The presence of diabetes among Aboriginals is three to five times the national average, based on location, than in non-Aboriginal communities.

Answer to Question 2

C
To collect an aerobic wound culture, the nurse uses a sterile swab from a culturette tube and ster-ile technique.
The nurse never collects a wound-culture sample from old or superficial drainage. Resident col-onies of bacteria from the skin grow in superficial drainage and may not be the true causative organisms of a wound infection.
The nurse should clean the wound first with normal saline to remove skin flora, before obtaining the culture.
The nurse uses different methods of specimen collection for aerobic or anaerobic organisms.
