Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Derived from the Latin word divertere, meaning to turn in opposite directions, diversity is the condition of being different or having differences. Biculture is used to describe an individual who crosses two cultures, lifestyles, and sets of values. Subculture is where individuals with distinct identity are related to a larger cultural group. Cultural sensitivity is having basic knowledge of the different cultures' health traditions in the community where the nurse is practicing.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
A major component of cultural competence is an acknowledgment and awareness of one's own culture and a willingness to explore one's own feelings and biases.
