Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Assimilation matches the definition described. Ethnicity is the awareness of belonging to a group in which certain characteristics or aspects of a culture, such as biology, differentiate the members of one group from another. Ethnocentrism is the tendency to believe that one's own beliefs, way of life, values, and customs are superior to those of others. Culture is the nonphysical traits, such as values, beliefs, attitudes, and customs that are shared by a group of people and passed from one generation to another.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Many faiths describe circumstances in which fasts may be altered or eliminated during times of illness and hospitalization. Additionally, some people will report adhering to a particular faith but will not strictly adhere to certain practices. Further assessment is needed to determine this client's beliefs, desire to adhere to the practice, and extent to which the practice may be altered considering the illness and hospitalization. Making certain assumptions without further assessment would result in actions not respectful of or beneficial to the client.
