Answer to Question 1

C
Ethnocentrism is a belief that one's own cultural group is superior to that of another's. In nursing we have a unique culture and expect our patients to adapt to us rather than attempting to adapt to the culture of the patient. Confiscating items used in healing rituals shows ethnocentrism and disrespect to the resident. Limiting activities in a group room, encouraging people to attend church services of their religion, and letting prospective Jewish residents know that the facility does not have a kosher kitchen are not examples of ethnocentrism.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse's own anxiety and fear of personal aging as well as a lack of knowledge regarding older people contribute to commonly held negative attitudes, myths, and stereotypes about older people that interfere with a successful, effective assessment interview. The nurse must acknowl-edge the age-related differences in this patient. The nurse does use therapeutic communication, but this may be hampered by unrealized stereotypes. The nurse should treat all patients with re-spect, but this statement does not give specific information on how to do so.
