Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Ethnocentrism refers to the tendency of people to view their way of doing things and their culture as superior to the cultures and ways of others. Cultural humility requires community health nurses to continually self-evaluate and critique their own cultural assumptions and advocate for their clients in a nonpaternalistic way. In nursing, cultural competence means considering cultural aspects of health, illness, and treatment for each client or community, as well as doing so at each stage of the nursing process. Cross-cultural nursing is any nursing work in which the nurse and client have different cultures.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Some practices of healthcare institutions and clinicians have historically been discriminatory and hurtful to minority groups. Cultural safety refers to providing culturally appropriate health services to disadvantaged groups while stressing dignity and avoiding institutional racism, assimilation, and repressive practices. For the community health nurse, this means ongoing learning about the health beliefs and practices of clients and never dismissing or disrespecting folk traditions. In this case, it would be wise for the nurse to consult the healer, not only out of respect for the client's beliefs, but also to learn what herbal medications the client may be receiving, to prevent any adverse reactions with drugs the physician might prescribe.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
