Answer to Question 1

a

a. Correct: This is one of the aspects of self-awareness within the RNAO's individual recommendations for developing cultural competencies and behaviours.
b. Incorrect: Acknowledging one's own feelings and behaviours toward working with patients, families, and colleagues who have different cultural backgrounds, health behaviours, and belief systems is an individual behaviour, and not part of assessing an organization's level of cultural competence.
c. Incorrect: Acknowledging one's own feelings and behaviours toward working with patients, families, and colleagues who have different cultural backgrounds, health behaviours, and belief systems is an individual behaviour, and not necessarily part of a workplace policy on diversity.
d. Incorrect: Acknowledging one's own feelings and behaviours toward working with patients, families, and colleagues who have different cultural backgrounds, health behaviours, and belief systems is one of the aspects of self-awareness within the RNAO's individual recommendations for developing cultural competencies and behaviours. It is not a definition of institutional racism.

Answer to Question 2

D
The goal of equity would address the question, Did we have enough resources left over to meet the
essential health needs of lower-risk population groups? Questions related to quality would focus on
changes in health status as a result of interventions. Questions related to the goal of access would
focus on providing services regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, and health care status. Questions
of cost would focus on affordability.
