Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 3, 4, 5
Integration of your nursing knowledge with the cultural needs of the patient results in the patient being better informed and, it is hoped, more cooperative with the healthcare regimen. Communication, based on cultural understanding, provides a strong bridge to identifying the overall needs of a patient. Sensitivity to another's cultural needs provides a mechanism for health-related needs to be met more successfully. Acceptance of the beliefs and characteristics of another person is essential for culturally competent care to be given.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
This patient is indicating the need for personal space by moving away from the nurse when the nurse invades his personal space.
