Correct Answer : A,B
A cultural assessment is a systematic way to identify the beliefs, values, meanings, and behaviours of people while considering their history, life experiences, and social and physical environments. A nurse should include reviewing all ordered treatments in relation to the client’s culture and listening to the client’s perceptions as part of a cultural assessment.
These actions show respect for the client’s preferences and facilitate communication and understanding.
Choice C is wrong because explaining the purpose of the treatments without regard to the client’s culture may be insensitive or inappropriate for some clients who have different beliefs or practices about health and illness. Choice D is wrong because acknowledging that the client will have to adapt their perceptions to the dominant culture may be disrespectful or oppressive for some clients who value their cultural identity and diversity.

Localized warmth at the site of injury is a sign of localized inflammation of the tissues, which is a response to tissue damage caused by an ankle injury. Localized inflammation involves changes in blood flow, vessel permeability, and leukocyte migration to the site of injury. Heat is one of the five classic signs of acute local inflammation, along with redness, swelling, pain, and loss of function.
Choice A is wrong because 3+ palpable pedal pulses below the affected injury site indicate normal blood flow to the foot and do not reflect inflammation.
Choice B is wrong because full range of motion at the site of injury is unlikely in the presence of inflammation, which usually causes pain and loss of function.
Choice C is wrong because sanguineous drainage at the site of injury is a sign of bleeding, not inflammation.
Inflammation may cause fluid leakage from blood vessels, but this fluid is usually clear or yellowish, not bloody.
