Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2, 3
Explanation: 2. Talking with members of the group can provide insights into the group's culture. Looking for similarities in the group with one's own group can help the nurse understand the group culture. While doing prior research on a group is acceptable, it could also cause the nurse to have preconceived ideas. Asking personal questions may be resented by group members, so this should be ascertained before asking such questions. Acknowledging the group's reliance on alternative therapies implies stereotyping a group and is not part of a cultural assessment process.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Cultural destructiveness occurs when members of the organization lack cultural knowledge. Linking an area of a community with a preconceived idea of its residents contributes to cultural destructiveness. Cultural incapacity occurs when there is token minority representation with no attempt to engage in any cross-cultural training. Cultural blindness is where the organization treats everyone the same way. Cultural precompetence is where the organization makes plans for cultural competence but is complacent about its efforts toward it.
