Answer to Question 1

A
To determine the influence of culture on a family, you might want to ask the patient about his or her cultural background. Then ask questions concerning cultural practices.

Answer to Question 2

B
Although Good Samaritan Laws provide immunity to the nurse who does what is reasonable to save a person's life, if a nurse performs a procedure for which a nurse has no training, the nurse will be liable for any injury resulting from that act. Therefore, provide only care that is consistent with your level of expertise.
