Answer to Question 1

3, 4, 5, 6
The concept of culturally competent nursing care is emphasized in the American Nurses Association position statement of 1991, the American Academy of Nursing's professional responsibilities, the Joint Commission standards, and the National Patient Safety Goals. The American Nurses Association Core Competencies and the International Council of Nurses Code of Nursing do not address culturally competent care.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 5
Acculturation into the United States has undesirable effects on the health of immigrants because of lifestyle changes, including smoking, alcohol intake, drug use, unhealthy diets, and obesity. The nurse should assess the client's smoking, alcohol, substance use, and weight to ensure the client maintains the highest level of health. Language comprehension and employment status would not be criteria to ensure the client maintains the highest level of health.
