Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: Camps typically have a medical director who has developed set protocols for nursing care but is not directly involved in the day-to-day care of the children.

Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:

1. Ways to enhance cultural skill include learning a prevalent language or learning how to recognize health-manifesting skin color variations in different races.
2. Campinha-Bacote's theory of cultural competence sees the health care professional in a state of ever-increasing cultural competence. One begins by gaining cultural awareness or by gaining an effective and cognitive self-awareness of personal worldview biases, beliefs, and so on.
3. Daily interactions with clients from diverse backgrounds allow the nurse to appreciate the uniqueness of individuals from varying backgrounds.
4. Another early step, acquiring cultural knowledge includes studying information about the beliefs, biological variations, and favored treatments of specific cultural groups.
