the two, and they are considered separately. Physical characteristics should not be used to
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



identify members of cultural groups. To be a member of a specific culture, an individual does
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



not need to have certain identifiable physical characteristics. You should not confuse physical
L L L L L L L L L L L L L



characteristics with cultural characteristics. Gender and race are physical characteristics, not
L L L L L L L L L L L



cultural characteristics, and are not used to identify cultural groups.

We should be willing to modify the delivery of health care in a manner that is respectful and in

4. The motivation of the healthcare professional to —want to‖ engage in the process of becoming
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



culturally competent, not —have to,‖ is called
L L L L L L L



a. cultural knowledge. L



b. cultural awareness. L



c. cultural desire. L



d. cultural skill. L




ANS: C L



Cultural encounters are the continuous process of interacting with patients from culturally
L L L L L L L L L L L



diverse backgrounds to validate, refine, or modify existing values, beliefs, and practices about
L L L L L L L L L L L L L



a cultural group and to develop cultural desire, cultural awareness, cultural skill, and cultural
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



knowledge. Cultural awareness is deliberate self-examination and in-depth exploration of
L L L L L L L L L L



one’s biases, stereotypes, prejudices, assumptions, and —-isms‖ that one holds about
L L L L L L L L L L L



individuals and groups who are different from them. Cultural knowledge is the process of
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



seeking and obtaining a sound educational base about culturally and ethnically diverse groups.
L L L L L L L L L L L L L



Cultural skill is the ability to collect culturally relevant data regarding the patient’s presenting
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



problem, as well as accurately performing a culturally based physical assessment in a
L L L L L L L L L L L L L



culturally sensitive manner. Cultural desire is the motivation of the healthcare professional to
L L L L L L L L L L L L L



want to engage in the process of becoming culturally competent, not have to.

—Why do you think you are having these symptoms?‖ is an open-ended question that avoids
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



stereotyping, is sensitive and respectful toward the individual, and allows for cultural data to be
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L



exchanged. The other questions do not explore the patient’s cultural beliefs about health
L L L L L L L L L L L L L



problems.
