Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Cultural competence is dependent on understanding the beliefs and values of members of a different culture. A nurse who works with an individual or group of a culture different from his or her own must be open to learning about the culture. The other options have little to do with cultural competence or represent only a portion of the answer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A professional interpreter will be most effective because he/she will be able to interpret both language and culture. When an interpreter is engaged, the interpreter should be matched to the patient as closely as possible in gender, age, social status, and religion. Interpreters should not be relatives or friends of the patient. The stigma of mental illness may prevent the openness needed during the encounter.
