Answer to Question 1

B
A curriculum vitae provides an all-inclusive but not detailed listing of your professional life. This approach allows a prospective employer to find the most recent information quickly and gain a sense of where you are in your career.

Answer to Question 2

A
Acculturation refers to adapting to a particular culture. Assimilation occurs when individuals now define themselves as members of the dominant culture and is evidenced by when individuals say they are from where they live and practice. When individuals grow up within a culture and take on the characteristics of that culture, it is referred to as socialization. Assisting the staff to recognize differences in the relationships between physicians and nurses on the unit and those in their country of origin is assisting adaptation or acculturation and is promoting positive patient outcomes.
