Answer to Question 1

C
Definitions of critical thinking: A mode of thinking--about any subject, content, or problem--in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully taking charge of the structures inherent in thinking and imposing intellectual standards upon them (Paul); reflective and reasonable thinking that is focused on deciding what to believe or do (Ennis); an investigation whose purpose is to explore a situation, phenomenon, question, or problem to arrive at a hypothesis or conclusion about it that integrates all available information and that can therefore be convincingly justified (Kurfiss); the attentive commitment to a self-reflective process of examining one's thoughts, ensuring that the thinking occurring meets intellectual standards (Heaslip).

Answer to Question 2

D
The current focus is toward systemic approaches to ensure that cultural competence is integrated into the administrative processes and the provision of care, rather than avoidance of systematic approaches. In the past, many of the methods to promote a culturally competent health care environment focused on health care providers' efforts to become self-aware and learn about other cultures.
