Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Nurses need to be knowledgeable about different cultural groups, but they need to use this information as a backdrop for exploring the ways in which individuals identify with the characteristics of the various cultural groups to which they belong. Generalized knowledge may be accurate and clinically useful, but it is not replacement for individualized knowledge. Nurses need to recognize that the culture of each individual person is based on his or her membership in many groups and is internalized in a unique and personal way.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
While it is true that Asian Americans as a group have lower mortality rates at all ages, the statement that best assists the nurse to plan care of the Asian client is that a common view of health from the Asian perspective is that of harmony in the spiritual and physical contexts. Asian Americans are less likely to live alone. It is more common for older Asian Americans to live with family than in nursing homes.
