4 principles of cultural competence - correct answer- 1.

4. Care is provided with sensitivity and is based on the cultural

Absolute risk - correct answer- is the probability of an
event, such as illness, injury, or death. Gives no indication of
how its magnitude compares with others
Accommodation - correct answer- To create an
environment that accommodates health practice and ritual from
other cultures within a plan of care
According to Giger and Davidhizer (2000), although cultures
differ, they all have the same basic organizing factors that must
,be assessed in order to provide care for culturally diverse
patients. These factors include - correct answer-
communication (verbal and nonverbal);
personal space;

environmental control; and
biological variations.
Acculturation - correct answer- Degree To which an

Aggregate - correct answer- A defined population
,annual mortality rate - correct answer- usually an
expression of a specific disease or can be all causes per 1000
people for a year
annual mortality rate equation - correct answer- (# of
deaths of all causes(or specific disease) / mid-yr population)
x1000
