Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Simpata means having polite, non-confrontational relationships with others. Respeto means re-spect, dignidad means dignity, and personalismo is relating to the individual.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It would be incorrect to assume that all Mexicans have the same cultural beliefs. The nurse must remember that beliefs and practices differ between regions and localities of a country, and among individuals. Mexico is a multicultural country; therefore, the cultural backgrounds of Mexican immigrants vary depending on their place of origin.
