Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Denying admission to residents with living wills or advance directives is not a legal safeguard measure and may be considered discriminatory. Measures like investigating liability insurance adequacy, ensuring adequate work by unlicensed staff, and assessing employee competence are all valid ways for nurses to protect themselves legally. These measures help in ensuring proper care, reducing risks, and maintaining a high standard of practice.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The nurse in the scenario is likely knowledgeable about Middle Eastern culture and values providing culturally competent care to the residents. This inference can be made based on the nurse being well-respected and effective in providing care to this population. Choice A is incorrect because it only focuses on the nurse's knowledge and skills, not specifically about cultural competence. Choice C is incorrect as there is no indication of overcompensation; the nurse is described as effective and well-respected. Choice D is incorrect as there is no evidence to suggest that the nurse is demonstrating ethnic identity or cultural bias, but rather respecting and providing care tailored to the cultural needs of the residents.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Nurses may not have the medical expertise to answer all the questions that patients may have regarding their treatment, which is a crucial aspect of obtaining informed consent. While nurses should not influence a patient's decision, it is not a major reason why they should not obtain informed consent. Signatures obtained by nurses are legally binding, and although nurses often act as witnesses, there is no legal restriction preventing them from obtaining informed consent itself.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Diabetes, hypertension, and stroke are all higher than average in Native American/First Nations adults. Lung and oral cancers are not noted to have a higher prevalence and family is likely to be involved in the care of these older adults. The skin tone of Native American/First Nations people is not noted to require specific assessment techniques. The Native American population may have close family bonds.
