What is stereotyping? - Ans:✔✔-Ascribing certain beliefs and behaviors about a given racial and ethnic
group to an individual without assessing for individual differences; Stereotypes can be negative (i.e. All
black people are lazy) or positive (All Asians are smart). Either positive or negative can be harmful and
should not be used by nurses.
Prejudice vs Racism - Ans:✔✔-Prejudice is the emotional manifestation or deeply held beliefs
(stereotypes) about a group. Prejudice is directed towards members of that group. Prejudice usually
refers to negative feelings.
Racism on the other hand is a form of prejudice in which someone or an institution exercises a form of
power against people who are judged to be inferior. Racism emanates from the person in a position of
power.

For example, AA professor does not like Latino students and give them all Fs. This would be racism
because the teacher is in a position of power. If Caucasian students do not like AA professor because she
is black, would be prejudice but not racism, because the student is in a position of power.
Ethnocentrism - Ans:✔✔-The belief that one's own cultural group determines the standards by which
another group's behavior is judged. For example, American pushing its beliefs and values on other
countries.
Cultural Imposition - Ans:✔✔-The act of imposing one's cultural beliefs, values, and practices on
individuals from another culture. For example, nurses impose their values on clients when they forcefully
promote biomedical traditions while ignoring the client's value of non-Western treatments such as
acupuncture, herbal therapy, etc.
Cultural Conflict - Ans:✔✔-A perceived threat that may arise from a misunderstanding of expectations
when nurses are unable to respond appropriately to another individual's cultural practice because of
unfamiliarity with the practice (i.e. nurses sees bruises on child's back and assumes child abuse when it
may be the practice of cupping or coining).
Culture Shock - Ans:✔✔-The feeling of helplessness, discomfort, and disorientation experienced by an
individual attempting to understand or effectively adapt to a cultural group whose beliefs and values are
radically different from the individual's culture. In the above example about cupping or coining, a nurse
who is unfamiliar with such practices can experience extreme feelings of anxiety about the practice if
they are not familiar with it.
