Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Someone who is heritage consistent lives a lifestyle that reflects his or her traditional heritage, not the norms and customs of the new country.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Culturally competent implies that the caregiver understands and attends to the total context of the individual's situation. This competency includes awareness of immigration status, stress factors, other social factors, and cultural similarities and differences. It does not require the caregiver to speak the patient's native language.
