Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Although cultural competence and patient-centered care both aim to improve health care quality, their focus is slightly different. The primary aim of cultural competence care is to reduce health disparities and increase health equity and fairness by concentrating on people of color and other marginalized groups, like transgender patients. Patient-centered care, rather than cultural competence care, provides individualized care and restores an emphasis on personal relationships; it aims to elevate quality for all patients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Teach-Back technique asks open-ended questions, like what will you tell your spouse about changing the dressing, to verify a patient's understanding. When using the Teach-Back technique do not ask a patient, Do you understand? or Do you have any questions? Does this make sense and do you think you can do this at home are closed-ended questions. Would you tell me if you don't understand something so we can go over it is not verifying a patient's understanding about the teaching.
