Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Eye contact is one of the most culturally variable forms of communication. Although Americans emphasize eye contact while speaking, Hispanics look downward in deference to age, gender, social position, economic status, and authority.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Residents in long-term care settings often do not have much choice of foods. As a result, they may not be able to select cultural food preferences. When assessing the cause of decreased appetite in clients, the nurse should determine whether the problem may be related to culture.
