Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Culture conflict occurs when people become aware of cultural differences, feel threatened, and respond by ridiculing the beliefs and traditions of others to make themselves feel more secure about their own values.Cultural blindness occurs when one ignores differences and proceeds as though they do not exist. Stereotyping is the assumption that all members of a culture, ethnic group, or race act alike. Culture shock refers to the feelings a person experiences when placed in a different culture that is perceived as strange.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Because diabetes and fetal alcohol syndrome are known to have a higher incidence and prevalence among American Indians, Nurse K. is justified in reflecting this objective reality during health assessment. This action is rooted in epidemiology, not the inaccurate generalizations of stereotyping. Because the consequences of both problems are significant and objective, Nurse K. is not guilty of cultural imposition and specific permission for these assessments is not likely necessary.
