Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, D
Feedback:
Cultural humility requires community health nurses to continually self-evaluate and critique their own cultural assumptions and advocate for their clients in a nonpaternalistic way. To do this, they should ask open-ended questions (not yes or no questions) about beliefs and practices of the client and family; ask about traditions; and ask what the client does think may have caused the illness and how the client has already tried to address it. Asking if the cause of the illness is spiritual is a yes or no question.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
For community and public health agencies to be culturally competent, they must do the following: have a defined set of values and principles and demonstrate behaviors, attitudes, policies, and structures that enable them to work effectively cross-culturally; have the capacity to (1) value diversity, (2) conduct self-assessment, (3) manage the dynamics of difference, (4) acquire and institutionalize cultural knowledge, and (5) adapt to diversity and the cultural contexts of the communities they serve; and incorporate this capacity in all aspects of policy making, administration, practice, and service delivery, as well as systematically involve consumers, key stakeholders, and communities.
