Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In some ethnic groups eye contact is avoided. In the Vietnamese culture an individual may not look directly into the nurse's eyes as a sign of respect. The nurse providing culturally competent care would recognize that the mother does not feel responsible for her child's illness, she does not feel inferior to the nurse, and she is not embarrassed to seek health care as reasons for the mother to avoid eye contact with the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Culture is a pattern of assumptions, beliefs, and practices that unconsciously frames or guides the outlook and decisions of a group of people. A culture is composed of individuals who share a set of values, beliefs, and practices that serve as a frame of reference for individual perceptions and judgments. Race is defined as a division of humankind that possesses traits transmissible by descent and sufficient to characterize it as a distinct human type. Ethnicity is an affiliation of a set of persons who share a unique cultural, social, and linguistic heritage. A social group consists of systems of roles carried out in groups. Examples of primary social groups include the family and peer groups.
