Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
To provide culturally congruent care, you need to understand the difference between disease and illness. Illness is the way that individuals and families react to disease, whereas disease is a malfunctioning of biological or psychological processes. The way a patient interacts to family/social interactions is communication processes and family dynamics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Campinha-Bacote's model of cultural competency has five interrelated components: cultural awareness; cultural knowledge; cultural skills; cultural encounters; and cultural desire. Cultural transition is not a component of this model.
