Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
European American middle-class culture is primarily individualistic, emphasizing freedom of choice and personal responsibility. However, Hispanic, Asian, and African traditions are more sociocentric, emphasizing balance and cooperation over individualistic concerns.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
In cultural care accommodation/negotiation, the nurse adapts nursing care to accommodate the client's beliefs or negotiate aspects of care that would require the client to change certain practices. Attempting to alter the patient's practice is associated with repatterning/restructuring, and confiscating the herbs is likely not a culturally congruent act, unless they were known to constitute a serious threat to health.
