Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
To improve results, the nurse should focus on the highest disparity. Poor people received worse care than high-income people for about 60 of core measures. American Indians and Alaska Natives received worse care than Caucasians for about 30 of core measures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Becoming more aware of your biases and attitudes about human behavior is the first step in providing patient-centered care, leading to culturally competent care. It is helpful to think about cultural competence as a lifelong process of learning about others and also about yourself. Learning about the world view, developing cultural skills, and understanding organizational forces are not the first steps.
