Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Behaviors and communication styles of cultural societies referred to as low context (individ-ualistic) are those in which people care for themselves. Low-context societies emphasize thinking and values that are centered on the individual: autonomy, individual initiative, the right to privacy, and emotional independence. Facilitating family in assuming responsibility for the patient's physical and educational needs is not compatible with the characteristic needs of the low-context society.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, E
Many immigrants experience culture shock, a sudden or violent disturbance of emotions that involves a sense of anxiety, fear, and distrust. Children and young adults usually adapt to their new surroundings more quickly. It takes approximately three generations or longer for members of a minority group to integrate into the dominant cultural environment.
