Explanation: 1. Culturally competent care implies that within the delivered care, the provider understands and attends to the total context of the patient's situation.
2. Culturally sensitive care implies the provider possesses some basic knowledge of, and constructive attitudes toward, health traditions observed among the different cultural groups in the practice setting.
3. Culturally designated care is not a correct cultural term.
4. Culturally appropriate care implies the provider applies the underlying background knowledge that he or she must possess in order to give a patient the best possible care
