Answer to Question 1

B
Although curiosity about other ways of being in the world is an important attitude for cultural competence, it is also important for a nurse to understand the forces that influence his or her own world view. Everyone holds biases about human behavior. Bias means a predisposition to see people or things in a certain light, positive or negative (Aguilar, 2006). Becoming more aware of one's biases and attitudes about human behavior is the first step on the ladder of cultural competence that can lead to positive change.

Answer to Question 2

B
Perfectionism is an overwhelming expectation of being able to get everything done. It does not have any connection to ability, talent, or understanding to complete the task. Perfectionism is a barrier to effective use of time management.
