EDITION (10TH)
Ch 01: cultural competency
Q&A
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.
Actual answer: b
Rationale
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.
Actual answer: c
Rationale
, (SEIDEL'S GUIDE TO PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: AN INTERPROFESSIONAL APPROACH 10TH/ 11th EDITION)
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.
Actual answer: a
Rationale
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.
Actual answer: c
Rationale
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. Cultural desire
is the motivation of the healthcare professional to want to engage in the process of becoming
culturally competent, not have to.
