Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Until the nurse can understand and acknowledge the cultural background from which the nurse operates, it will be very difficult to develop cultural competence. Gaining proficiency in another language and understanding the patient's culture is important to developing cultural competence as well as understanding the goals of culturally competent care, but less important than the nurse understanding and recognizing his or her own cultural background.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2, 4, 5
Explanation: 2. Maintaining an up-to-date community demographic profile and engaging in partnerships to help design relevant services are two measures to help develop culturally competent care. Employing minority staff and treating all patients the same way does not indicate cultural competence and could actually be offensive to the patients. It is important to recognize that differences within subgroups of a particular culture may exist.
