Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The treatments generally used by a patient will correspond to beliefs about illness causation and may reveal the expectation to combine Eastern and Western treatments. Automatically applying all information known about a culture to patients of that group, assuming that all individuals from Southeast Asia practice Buddhism, and referring to textbook information to predict individual behavior do not take into account the individual differences of patients from the same cultural groups.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Providing information in the language of the culturally diverse group indicates that the agency is interested in serving individuals in the group. Ensuring understanding may also foster compliance by the individual. The other options would not help to accommodate the individuals from this group.
