Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A A physical motive may be seen in the patient who has a desire to maintain or improve health.
B A social motive is the need for connection, social approval, or self-esteem.
C Task mastery motives are driven by desire for achievement. The patient who must demonstrate irrigating his colostomy independently to be discharged is displaying the learning motive of task mastery.
D An evaluation stance would involve the nurse determining whether the outcomes of the teachinglearning process met the patient's goal. Evaluation is not a learning motive.

Answer to Question 2

A
The OMH describes culture as the thoughts, communications, actions, customs, beliefs, values, and institutions of racial, ethnic, religious, or social groups. Subcultures represent various ethnic, religious, and other groups with distinct characteristics from the dominant culture. Ethnicity refers to a shared identity related to social and cultural heritage such as values, language, geographical space, and racial characteristics. Cultural backlash occurs when an individual rejects a new culture because experience with a new or different culture is extremely negative.
