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.‖
ANS: A
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.
DIF:Cognitive Level: Analyzing (Analysis)
OBJ:Nursing process—assessment MSC: Physiologic Integrity: Physiologic Adaptation
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.
ANS: C
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.
