Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The person's culture does not affect how a health assessment is conducted, but it is an integral component of nurseclient interactions. Nurses should know risk factors for alterations in health based on racial inheritance, as well as normal variations that occur among races.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Bronchial breath sounds are high pitched, with expiration longer than inspiration. Bronchovesicular sounds are moderate blowing sounds with equal inspiration and expiration. Vesicular sounds are soft and low-pitched, with longer inspiration than expiration. Adventitious sounds are not normally heard in the lungs.
