Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Knowing the specific ages of all of the people involved is not as important for providing education on how to take a blood pressure reading as is providing an environment conducive to learning.
B It is not necessary to know the names of employees who are married to teach individuals how to take their own blood pressure.
C Whether or not employees have high blood pressure should not be as important to the teacher as providing an environment conducive to learning. Having high blood pressure may be a motivating factor for the employees to learn how to take their own blood pressure because of its personal relevance.
D The number of persons being taught, the need for privacy, and the room temperature, lighting, noise, ventilation, and furniture are important factors when choosing the setting. The ideal setting helps the patients to focus on the learning task.

Answer to Question 2

A
Ethnicity refers to a shared identity related to social and cultural heritage such as values, language, geographical space, and racial characteristics. Ethnicity is different from race, which is limited to the common biological attributes shared by a group such as skin color or blood type. In any intercultural encounter, there is an insider or native perspective (ethic worldview) and an outsider's perspective (ethic worldview). Ethnicity is best understood by those who are a part of that ethnicity and have an emic worldview.
