Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Socialization is the process by which a person of one culture learns how to function within another culture. The other options are not examples of the socialization process, but rather are merely statements that incorporate terms relating to culture.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Failure to develop cultural sensitivity to patients of diverse cultural backgrounds may create misunderstandings between nurse and patient. Data may be misinterpreted. Implementation of plans and patient compliance with plans may be sabotaged if the nurse does not understand the culture of the patient. The statement, Nurses who assume care for persons of different cultures need to assume those beliefs as their own in order to give good care is unnecessary and impractical. It is not true that women of most cultures have adopted assertive communication. Traditional healing practices and Western medicine may be used in combination with good results.
