Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Hispanic individuals usually value relationship behaviors. Their needs are for learning through verbal communication rather than reading and for having time to chat before approaching the task.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Directly confronting problems is a highly valued approach in the American culture but not part of many other cultures in which harmony and restraint are valued. American nurses sometimes mistakenly think that all patients should take direct action. Patients with other values will be unable to meet this culturally inappropriate outcome. Present orientation, interdependence, and a flexible perception of time are not valued in Western culture. These views are more predominant in other cultures. See relationship to audience response question.
