Question

A) Patient's facial expressions are consistent with verbalized emotions.
B) Patient is wearing clothes that are normally worn by whites.
C) Patient is staring down at the floor through most of the interview.
D)Patient's gait is strong and symmetrical.

Answer 1

Part B is not relevant to a general inspection, which is concerned with a patient's physiological and psychological state, rather than clothing choices related to race.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to a nurse conducting a general inspection in a care clinic. During a general inspection, a nurse assesses various aspects of a patient's appearance and behavior that can give clues to their overall health and well-being. The answer is B) Patient is wearing clothes that are normally worn by whites. This is not relevant to a general inspection, which focuses on observing the patient's physiological and psychological state, rather than their clothing choices in the context of race or ethnicity. Inspecting things like facial expressions, gaze, and gait are relevant because they can reveal information about a patient's neurological and emotional status.
