Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Holding back more potent pain medication for a client who had a minor procedure is an example of a cultural imposition of the nurse on a client. Adaptation of the client's room to accommodate extra family members is not an example of cultural imposition on a client, but rather is meeting the client's need by providing culturally congruent care. Seeking information on gen-der-congruent care for an Egyptian client is an example of the desire to provide culturally con-gruent care. Encouraging family to assist with the client's care is not an example of cultural im-position on a client. Western culture tends to follow a pattern of caring that focuses on self-care and self-determination, whereas non-Western cultures typically have care provided by others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Acculturation is the process of adapting to and adopting a new culture. Biculturalism occurs when an individual identifies equally with two or more cultures. Assimilation occurs when an individual gives up his or her ethnic identity in favor of the dominant culture. Socialization into one's primary culture as a child is known as enculturation.
