Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
The Giger and Davidhizar Transcultural Assessment Model looks at communication, space, social orientation, time, environmental control, and biological variation. The questions all address these factors; however, asking why the patient does not want to shake the nurse's hand sounds judgmental and why questions are a communication barrier.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E
Acculturation occurs from first-hand contact between a minority group and the majority cultural group and can result in changes to one or both cultures. Assimilation occurs when members of a minority group blend into the majority group and can occur at the group or individual level. Assimilation is not a forced change.
