Answer to Question 1

D
Some techniques that may help to facilitate communication among multicultural workers include: 1) avoiding the use of slang terms, 2) recognizing that each of your coworkers probably has an educational background in nursing that is different from yours, and 3) providing your coworkers with resources, such as written protocols and procedures to reinforce verbal communication. When providing constructive criticism, it is important to use I statements instead of you statements, remembering to praise your coworker's competency in technical skills, and inspiring self-confidence.

Answer to Question 2

B
Working with staff from different cultures brings with it differing perceptions of the health care regime and its inherent elements. Some potential areas of difference that may impact nursing health care service delivery include: staff responsibilities, the role of the nurse (not health care practitioner), locus of control, time orientation, educational differences, and language differences.
