Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Some generalizations can be made about cultural groups; however, the nurse must remember that each person is an individual who needs individualized assessment and care. Given that caution, Muslims often prefer same-sex caregivers. Russians typically do not share bad news with the patient. Hispanics often view time and punctuality with more flexibility than other groups. The Amish usually avoid technology.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Culture refers to the learned, shared, and transmitted knowledge of values, beliefs, and ways of life of a particular group that generally are transmitted from one generation to another and influence the individual person's thinking, decisions, and actions in patterned or certain ways. Ethnicity is the person's identification with or membership in a particular racial, national, or cultural group and observation of the group's customs, beliefs, and language. The words may be used interchangeably by some people, but this is not correct.
