Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
The curandero (male) or curandera (female) of the Mexican-American community is believed to have healing powers that are a gift from God. The Asian family may consult an herbalist, knowledgeable in medicines, or perhaps a specialized practitioner of Asian therapies, including acupuncture (insertion of needles) or acupressure (application of pressure). Native Hawaiians consult kahunas and practice ho'oponopono to heal family imbalance or disputes. The nurse may encounter use of these practices. Consulting another doctor would not be a complementary or alternative practice expected in a culturally diverse population.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
A nurse should be aware of the African-American broad cultural characteristics, which include the following: initial eye contact shows respect; maintaining eye contact can be viewed as aggressive, silence may indicate a lack of trust, and illness may be seen as the will of God. Self-care and folk medicine are prevalent in this culture, and importance is placed on nonverbal behavior.
