Answer to Question 1

C
Nursing standards of practice are measured according to the expected level of professional prac-tice of those in similar roles and clinical fields. Nursing care is not judged against the physician's orders, stated requests of the patient, or implementation of the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

A
Acculturation is a process that occurs when a member of one cultural group adopts the values, beliefs, expectations, and behaviors of another group, usually in an attempt to become recognized as a member of the group. The other actions might be helpful in acculturating.
