Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A stereotype is a false assumption about all members of a specific group. Saying people over 65 are poor drivers is an inaccurate generalization about a specific group of people. The other options do not fit the definition of a stereotype.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Culturally competent care involves continuous attempts by staff to use knowledge and skills to effectively provide care for patients of different cultures. Adapting standard care to meet the specific cultural preferences of the patient is part of a culturally competent care plan. The other options would not be contained in a culturally competent plan of care.
