Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E
Many non-Western cultures see the cause of illness as being an imbalance between humans and nature. Method of diagnosis is described as holistic, and treatment of illness is mixed to include magico-religious, supernatural herbal, biomedical, etc. Western cultures view the cause of illness as biomedical using scientific, high-tech methods of diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The goal of transcultural nursing is culturally congruent care, or care that fits the person's valued life patterns and set of meanings. Patterns and meanings are generated from people themselves, rather than from predetermined criteria. Culturally congruent care is sometimes different from the values and meanings of the professional health care system. Ethnocentrism is a tendency to hold one's own way of life as superior to those of others. It is not part of culturally congruent care.
