Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4, 6
Developing cultural competence requires cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skills, and cultural encounter. Cultural awareness includes the identification of one's own cultural beliefs related to health and health care. Cultural knowledge includes becoming knowledgeable about the predominant cultural groups within one's own geographic area. Cultural skills includes becoming skilled at cultural data assessments. Cultural encounter includes engaging in cross-cultural interactions with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Cultural competence does not mean the nurse needs to learn a foreign language nor relocate to another country to learn the culture.

Answer to Question 2

The nursing diagnosis of Disturbed Energy Field is defined as a disruption of the flow of energy which can be due to pathological, situational, treatment-related, or maturational factors. Socioeconomic and environmental factors do not disrupt the flow of energy.
