Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Traditional Western medicine uses medication administration as a method of treatment.
Acupuncture is an alternative therapy often used in non-Western cultures such as the Chinese and Southeast Asians. Herbal therapy is an alternative therapy often used in non-Western cultures, but not in traditional Western medicine. Spiritual advising is not used in traditional Western medicine, but it may be seen in the African-American cultural group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Cultural groups consist of units of social organization delineated by kinship, status hierarchy, and appropriate roles for their members. Sensitivity to social organization is the recognition of the client's status and role in the family. Sensitivity to communication patterns would be the recogni-tion of the client's language usage. Culture is the framework used in defining social phenomena such as when a person is considered to be healthy or in need of intervention. The way an indi-vidual defines health and health practices needs to be understood by the nurse to best meet the needs of the client. Sensitivity to social organization is not met by recognizing the definition of health for an individual. Psychological characteristics and coping mechanisms may be expressed in a variety of ways across cultures. Sensitivity to social organization is not demonstrated by the recognition of psychological characteristics and coping mechanisms of a particular culture.
