Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
In nursing, cultural competence means considering cultural aspects of health, illness, and treatment for each client or community, as well as doing so at each stage of the nursing process. The nurse should not display cultural bias or favoritism to any specific culture. The nurse does not need to display the beliefs of other cultures, just a respect and understanding of them. The nurse does not need to display cultural artwork.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
Although the nurse will not be fluent in all cultures at all times, certain principles will make him or her a more culturally competent nurse: openness to others' ideas and ways of life, respect, curiosity, patience, and self-awareness of one's own culture and culturally mediated ideas, as well as the humility to know that one can always learn more about a certain client's culture and that person as an individual. Obtaining objective data about the client will not help the nurse demonstrate cultural competence and awareness. The nurse should not assume that he or she has enough knowledge but should be willing to learn more.
