Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Rather than first dismissing the practice as dangerous and incompatible with Western medicine, practitioners need to investigate further whether the practice needs changing. Although educat-ing the client may be appropriate, this cannot be determined until the herb has been identified and it is determined to be harmful in this situation. Asking the client why additional remedies are being used may make the client feel defensive. The nurse needs to first determine what herbs are being used. While alerting the physician is appropriate, it is not the first action to be taken by the nurse. The nurse should initially determine what herbs are being used.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Religious beliefs may prohibit the presence of males, including husbands, in the delivery room. This may be observed among devout Muslims, Hindus, and Orthodox Jews. Hispanic men typi-cally do not have religious or cultural beliefs that would prohibit them from the delivery room. Korean men typically do not have religious or cultural beliefs that would prohibit them from the delivery room. Asian men typically do not have religious or cultural beliefs that would prohibit them from the delivery room.
