(ANSWERED CORRECTLY)
Genetics
The study of individual genes and their impact on relatively rare single gene
disorders
Genomics
The study of all genes in the human genome as well as their interaction with other
genes, the individual's environment, and the influence of cultural and psychosocial
factors
Genetic epidemiology
the link of epidemiology and genetics
Absolute risk
is the probability of an event, such as illness, injury, or death
Cultural Awareness
:Self-examination of one's own prejudices and biases toward other cultures. An in-
depth exploration of one's own cultural/ethnic background.
Cultural humility
A lifelong commitment to self-evaluation and self-critiques, redressing the power
of imbalances in the patient- physician dynamic, developing mutually. Beneficial
relationships.
Cultural Knowledge
Obtaining a sound educational foundation concerning the various worldviews of
differences cultures. Obtaining knowledge regarding biological variations, disease
and health conditions and variation in drug metabolism.
Cultural Skill:
, 2
(NR VERIFIED)
Ability to collect culturally relevant data regarding the client's health history and
presenting problem. Ability to conduct culturally based physician assessments.
Conducting these assessments in a culturally sensitive manner.
Cultural Desire
Motivation of the healthcare provider to "want" to engage in the process of cultural
competence, characteristics of compassion, authenticity, humility, openness,
availability, and flexibility, commi tment and passion to caring, regardless of
conflict.
ethnicity
as "the aggregate of cultural practices, social influences, religious pursuits, and
racial characteristics shaping the distinctive identity of community"
Cultural competence in nursing consists of four principles.
Care is designed for the specific client.
Care is based on the uniqueness of the person's culture and includes cultural norms
and values.
Care includes self-employment strategies to facilitate client decision making to
improve health behaviors.
Care is provided with sensitivity and is based on the cultural uniqueness of clients.
The APN may also use the Kleinman Explanatory Model of Illness (1978). Below
are the questions that can be utilized.
What is the most important result you hope to receive from the treatment?
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
communication (verbal and nonverbal);
personal space;
social organization;
time perception;
environmental control; and

biological variations.
The National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC) provides national
leadership and contributes to the body of knowledge on cultural and linguistic
competency within systems and organizations. Major emphasis is placed on
translating evidence into policy and practice for programs and personnel concerned
with health and mental healthcare delivery, administration, education, and
advocacy.
The NCCC uses four major approaches to fulfill its mission, including
Web-based technical assistance, (2) knowledge development and dissemination,
(3) supporting a community of learners, and (4) collaboration and partnerships
with diverse groups.
These approaches entail the provision of training, technical assistance, and
consultation and are intended to facilitate networking, linkages, and information
exchange. The NCCC has particular expertise in developing instruments and
conducting organizational self-assessment processes to advance cultural and
linguistic competency.
Epidemiological Triad:
host, agent, environment
Genetics is considered an agent in the epidemiological triad
Absolute risk
gives no indication of how its magnitude compares with others.
The odds ratio
closely approximates the relative risk if the disease is rare.
Odds ratio and the relative risk are used
to assess the strength of association between risk factor and outcome.
Attrubutible risk
is used to make risk-based decisions for individuals.
Population-attributable risk measures
are used to form public health decisions
