Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Culturally competent care means that care is provided in a manner acceptable to the person's cultural background, regardless of whether it is provided by a care provider from the same ethnic or minority group as the client. Health care professionals must be able to incorporate cultural factors including language, customs, beliefs, and traditions into plans of care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Strong stigma still attaches to people who suffer from mental illness, largely related to public misunderstandings, misconceptions, and associated fears. At a personal level, people with mental illness must deal with painful rejection, isolation, and discrimination that erode self-assurance and can systematically undermine self-confidence. Stigma creates or reinforces interpersonal, financial, employment, and social barriers to accessing care.
