Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
When cultural identity is central to self-concept and is positive, cultural pride and self-esteem tend to be strong. Environmental stressors such as low-income, body image stressors such as acne, and role performance failure often influence self-esteem negatively.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A nurse can identify situational life stressors that can impact a person's self-concept. By asking about a patient's thoughts and feelings, the nurse will be able to use communication skills in a therapeutic manner. This will facilitate the patient's insight into behaviors and will enable the nurse to make referrals or provide needed health teaching. The length of time married and the reason for the parents' divorce do not explain the patient's behaviors. Why the patient is acting out of control is not as important as how the patient views actions when out of control.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
