  2. Gain cultural awareness.
  3. Seek cultural encounters.
  4. Acquire cultural knowledge.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Ways to enhance cultural skill include learning a prevalent language and learning how to recognize health-manifesting skin color variations in different races.
Rationale 2: One begins by gaining cultural awareness or by gaining an effective and cognitive self-awareness of personal worldview biases, beliefs, etc.
Rationale 3: During daily interactions with clients from diverse backgrounds, these cultural encounters allow the nurse to appreciate the uniqueness of individuals from varying backgrounds.
Rationale 4: Another early step, although not the first step, is acquiring cultural knowledge, and includes studying information about the beliefs, biological variations, and favored treatments of specific cultural groups.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Birth is not imminent at this time.
Rationale 2: Birth will not likely occur in 12 hours.
Rationale 3: Birth cannot really be predicted at this time.
Rationale 4: A -2 station means that the fetus is 2 cm above the ischial spines. With the infant's head that high in the pelvis, it is difficult to predict when birth will occur.
