Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The use of short sentences and stopping frequently for the interpretation are effective means of communicating. Additional guidelines for working with an interpreter include speaking to the patient in first person (not the third person), looking at the patient (not the interpreter), translating exactly what the patient says (not paraphrasing), and asking for clarification whenever necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Leininger describes patient care and its relationship to cultural diversity. Swanson's five caring processes include maintaining belief, knowing, being with, doing for, and enabling. Travelbee's Human-to-Human Relationship Model describes steps toward compassionate and empathetic care. Watson's theory of Human Science and Human Care impacts both the person and the universe and is built upon 10 carative factors.
