Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse should provide factual information and answer questions. Persons of Latin American descent have less dependence on time schedules and do not tend to have a future orientation. They are not comfortable with periods of silence. Nurses should be receptive to traditional healing practices and seek ways to include those in care when they do not hinder safe and effective care; highlighting practices that won't work may convey a lack of respect for these traditions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Each state's Nurse Practice Act identifies how nurses administer medications. The other acts govern how drugs are marketed and tested.
