Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Poor health literacy skills are an example of a health disparity that limits an individual's ability to access or communicate about health care needs. Patients who are receiving needed care are not experiencing a gap between health need and actual care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Before working with culturally diverse groups, the nurse should first identify own biases and assumptions in order to objectively and competently care for patients. Attending a rally or march may not raise awareness of various biases. The nurse should establish rapport and trust when working with patients, after self-awareness is appreciated. Taking a foreign language may be helpful; however the first step is self-awareness.
