Answer to Question 1

A
Fundamental to quality thinkers is the ability to think clearly. Clarity of thought means placing facts and ideas into a logical and coherent framework. Be sure that the words used clearly express the intended message.

Answer to Question 2

A
In contrast to other types of interviews, cultural assessment is intrusive and time consuming and requires a trusting relationship between participants. Miscommunication commonly occurs in intercultural transactions. This is because of language communication differences between and among participants and differences in interpreting each other's behaviors. Nurses use transcultural communication skills to interpret a patient's behavior within his or her own context of meanings and to behave in a culturally congruent way.
