Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Cultural sensitivity is the process of increasing professional effectiveness through understanding, respecting, and appreciating the importance of cultural factors in the delivery of health services. Asking the patient how he or she is alienated, teaching the client to assimilate, and explaining that the patient's values have to be changed are neither sensitive nor supportive.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Orlando focuses on responding to the patient's immediate needs. Peplau's theory emphasizes the psychodynamic process. Neuman sees the client as a system that seeks homeostasis. Leininger addresses cultural beliefs and values.
