CASE STUDY 1 I BELIEVE THAT RESPONSE #3 IS THE APPROPRIATE ONE. WITH THE THREAT OF HIV, HEPATITIS, AND OTHER BLOOD-BORNE DISEASES, ANYHTHING THAT HAS HUMAN BLOOD SUCH AS A TOOTH CAN PROVE TO BE A HAZARD TO A HEALTHCARE WORKERS' SAFETY.
CASE STUDY 2 MR. PARK PROBABLY DOES HAVE TROUBLE WITH HIS WNGLISH, BUT HE MAY HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER NAMES, ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT NAMES TO SAY. ALSO, I BELIEVE THAT SINCE MISS. KING HAS ONLY BEEN WORKING THERE FOR TWO WEEKS, HE MAY KNOW AS WELL AS THE OTHER EMPLOYEES.
CASE STUDY 3 THE REASON I BELIEVE IS CORRECT IS NO. 3. IN SOME CARRIBEAN NATIONS, THE MAN IS THE UNDISPUTED HEAD OF THE HOUSEHOLD AND THE WIFE KNOWS THAT. ALSO, I BELIEVE DUE TO THE CULTURAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO PEOPLE, THE NURSE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT MRS. POITIER IS TRYING TO CONVEY. MRS. POITIER SHOULD TRY TO EXPLAIN IF POSSIBLE HOW IT IS DONE IN HER CULTURE.
