Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1

Feedback
1 In ethnocentric thinking, one sees her/his own worldview or values as applicable to everyone else. The concept of freedom is not universally defined or valued.
2 Understanding that complexity is part of human interactions minimizes the likelihood of ethnocentric thinking.
3 In ethnocentric thinking, people only consider one way of looking at a problem.
4 In ethnocentric thinking, people often generalize their own experience to others and assume that all families are the same.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2, 3, 5
Rationale:
The GIS can highlight geo-spatial patterns of concern that occur in residential living environments that might contribute to exacerbations of chronic illness. Nurses can search the map based on different attributes to look for family or community resources available that may help with health promotion, disease prevention, or management of illness. Thus, it can be used to identify grocery stores with affordable fruits and vegetables, or be helpful in planning transportation routes. It would not be useful for nurses providing care for acutely ill inpatients or skilled-care patients in hospitals or residential facilities.
