Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Personal values are shaped by culture. Perceptions of health, disease, prevention, and treatment may vary among different cultural groups. Acknowledging divergent values can be a significant first step toward improving one's cultural competence and sensitivity to differences. Health behaviors are determined by a number of factors. The patient's values do not have to be congruent with the nurse's values. Health values vary across cultures.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 3, 4
Explanation: There is a growing body of evidence to support a positive relationship between faith and mental health for many individuals. For example, evidence suggests that aspects of life such as coping, having hope, finding meaning and purpose in life, the ability to forgive, and an overall quality of life are related to having a religious faith. Religious individuals may have some protection against the physiological consequences of stress. Spirituality is a predictor of better outcomes in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders. It is still very difficult to find definitive evidence about the relationship between religious beliefs and mental health and illness. Part of the reason for this is that researchers are still trying to define the terms that are important to understanding this relationship and to determine how to measure them.
