Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The goal of cultural assessment is to gather significant information from the client that will enable the nurse to implement culturally congruent care. Minimizing distress is an achieved outcome when the goal of culturally congruent care is met. Identifying beliefs and traditions is an assess-ment goal that helps identify the criteria for individualized, culturally congruent care.
Blending Western nursing practice with cultural expectations will result in individualized, cultur-ally congruent care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
In collectivistic groups such as the Hispanic culture, the physical presence of loved ones with the client demonstrates caring. While the other options show caring, it is not the best option reflect-ing the Hispanic culture.
