Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
The knowledge and acceptance of one's own cultural values is essential to the acceptance and awareness of the values of the client. Failure to have self-awareness can result in ethnocentrism. The cultural values and beliefs of the client may require sensitive scheduling. Time does allow the nurse to develop additional knowledge of many issues in nursing, including cultural considerations.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
