Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Ethnicity represents the identifying characteristics of culture, such as race, religion, or natural origin. Multiculturalism is the blending of diverse cultures. Race is primarily a social classification that relies on physical markers. Culture is a set of beliefs, values, and assumptions about life that are widely held among a group of people and transmitted intergenerationally .

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nurses who strive to be culturally competent respect individuals from different cultures and val-ue diversity. Immersing oneself in a different culture, designing care for special ethnic groups, and giving explicit instructions so the client does not have to make a decision does not demon-strate cultural competence.
