Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, D
Arthur Kleinman found that cultural beliefs based in shared meanings, values, and norms are the basic guidelines people use for recognizing that something is wrong, interpreting what it might be, and organizing a plan of appropriate actions. The goal of his research was to study members of many diverse ethnic groups to gain an understanding of the links between cultural beliefs and health and illness behaviors and actions. From his findings, community health nurses established cultural models of health.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Acculturation is when an individual adapts to or changes cultural patterns to those of the new country. Diversity is the condition of being different or having differences. Ethnicity is one's identification with a group composed of people who share a unique cultural background and social heritage that is passed from one generation to another. Culture is the medium through which a person's beliefs, standards, and norms for health and illness behaviors are structured, learned, shared, practiced, and judged.
