Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Acculturation occurs when people adapt to or borrow traits from another culture. Acculturation can also be defined as the changes of one's cultural patterns to those of the host society.
Rationale 2: Assimilation is the process by which an individual develops a new cultural identity. It encompasses various aspects such as behavior, marital, identification, and civic. The underlying assumption is that the person from a given cultural group loses his or her original cultural identity to acquire the new one.
Rationale 3: Diversity is the fact or state of being different.
Rationale 4: Heritage consistency relates to the observance of beliefs and practices of a person's traditional cultural system.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Cultural sensitivity implies that nurses possess some basic knowledge of and constructive attitudes toward the health traditions observed among the diverse cultural groups found in the setting in which they are practicing.
Rationale 2: To understand and attend to the total context of the client's situation, using knowledge, attitudes, and skills is a general nursing expectation and does not address cultural sensitivity directly.
Rationale 3: To possess the underlying background knowledge that will provide these clients with the best possible health care is a general nursing expectation and does not address cultural sensitivity directly.
Rationale 4: Cultural sensitivity implies that nurses possess some basic knowledge not competency of and constructive attitudes toward the health traditions observed among the diverse cultural groups found in the setting in which they are practicing.
