Chapter 01: Cultural Competency
Ball: Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination, 10th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which statement is true regarding the relationship of physical characteristics and
culture?
a. Physical characteristics should be used to identify members of cultural groups.
b. There is a difference between distinguishing cultural characteristics and distinguishing
physical characteristics.
c. To be a member of a specific culture, an individual must have certain identifiable
physical characteristics.
d. Gender and race are the two essential physical characteristics used to identify cultural
groups.
CORRECT ANSWER B
Physical characteristics are not used to identify cultural groups; there is a difference between
the two, and they are considered separately. Physical characteristics should not be used to
identify members of cultural groups. To be a member of a specific culture, an individual does not
need to have certain identifiable physical characteristics. You should not confuse physical
characteristics with cultural characteristics. Gender and race are physical characteristics, not
cultural characteristics, and are not used to identify cultural groups.

2. An image of any group that rejects its potential for originality or individuality is known
as a(n)
a. acculturation.
b. norm.
c. stereotype.
d. ethnos.
CORRECT ANSWER C
A fixed image of any group that rejects its potential for originality or individuality is the
definition of stereotype. Acculturation is the process of adopting another culture’s behaviors. A
norm is a standard of allowable behavior within a group. Ethnos implies the same race or
nationality.

3. Mr. L presents to the clinic with severe groin pain and a history of kidney stones. Mr. L’s
son tells you that for religious reasons, his father wishes to keep any stone that is passed into
the urine filter that he has been using. What is your most appropriate response?
a. ―With your father’s permission, we will examine the stone and request that it be
returned to him.‖
b. ―The stone must be sent to the lab for examination and therefore cannot be kept.‖
c. ―We cannot let him keep his stone because it violates our infection control policy.‖
d. ―We don’t know yet if your father has another kidney stone, so we must analyze this
one.‖
CORRECT ANSWER A
We should be willing to modify the delivery of health care in a manner that is respectful and in
keeping with the patient’s cultural background. ―With your father’s permission, we will
examine the stone and request that it be returned to him‖ is the most appropriate response.
―The stone must be sent to the lab for examination and therefore cannot be kept‖ and ―We
don’t know yet if your father has another kidney stone, so we must analyze this one‖ do not
support the patient’s request. ―We cannot let him keep his stone because it violates our
infection control policy‖ does not provide a reason that it would violate an infection control
policy.

4. The motivation of the healthcare professional to ―want to‖ engage in the process of
becoming culturally competent, not ―have to,‖ is called
a. cultural knowledge.
b. cultural awareness.
c. cultural desire.
d. cultural skill.
CORRECT ANSWER C
Cultural encounters are the continuous process of interacting with patients from culturally
diverse backgrounds to validate, refine, or modify existing values, beliefs, and practices about a
cultural group and to develop cultural desire, cultural awareness, cultural skill, and cultural
knowledge. Cultural awareness is deliberate self-examination and in-depth exploration of one’s
biases, stereotypes, prejudices, assumptions, and ―-isms‖ that one holds about individuals and
groups who are different from them. Cultural knowledge is the process of seeking and obtaining
a sound educational base about culturally and ethnically diverse groups. Cultural skill is the
ability to collect culturally relevant data regarding the patient’s presenting problem, as well as
accurately performing a culturally based physical assessment in a culturally sensitive manner.
