Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Although communicating with the client in his native language may be appropriate, speaking the same language does not guarantee shared meaning and understanding of the client and his or her culture, a necessary component of cultural competence. Demonstrating a genuine interest, avoiding assumptions, and acquiring information about the client's country are appropriate and effective actions for providing culturally competent care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Research regarding specific mental health problems in Asian cultures is sparse, but various data suggest that rates of suicide for Native Hawaiian adolescents are higher than those of other adolescents in the United States.
