Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Buddhism emphasizes that Nirvana is the end of suffering and rebirth after death. Belief in Nirvana is not associated with Islam, Hinduism, or Christianity.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Campinha-Bacote emphasizes that cultural competence is a process rather than an endpoint and requires five elements: awareness, knowledge, skill, encounters, and desire. Asking the patient what kind of treatment he or she thinks would be helpful and what the patient hopes to experience from treatment utilizes Campinha-Bacote's idea of cultural awareness. Leininger's sunrise enabler model depicts the interrelationships among world view; the dimensions of cultural and social structures; and the influences on care expressions, patterns and practices, and holistic health/illness/death within the contexts of folk care, nursing care, and general professional care. Leininger's transcultural nursing theory defines a caring practice as one that helps individuals achieve health. Giger and Davidhizar's transcultural assessment model specifies six dimensions of culture that are essential in nursing assessment, with an underlying assumption that every patient is culturally unique.
