child's socialization into the American midwestern culture is best described as:
A. Assimilation.
B. Acculturation.
C. Biculturalism.
D. Enculturation.
CORRECT ANSWER
D. Enculturation.
Socialization into one's primary culture as a child is known as enculturation.

into which they are born or adopted. This contrasts with acculturation, which involves adopting
aspects of a *new* culture.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 50
A 46-year-old woman from Bosnia came to the United States 6 years ago. Although she did
not celebrate Christmas when she lived in Bosnia, she celebrates Christmas with her family

B. Adapted to and adopted the American culture.
C. Had an extremely negative experience with the American culture.

Assimilation results when an individual gradually adopts and incorporates the characteristics
of the dominant culture.
Page 2
, RATIONALE
Assimilation is demonstrated by the woman's adoption of American cultural practices, such as
celebrating Christmas, while potentially retaining aspects of her original culture, reflecting
adaptation to the dominant society. This process involves integrating into the new culture, which
can include adopting its customs and behaviors.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 50
To enhance their cultural awareness, nursing students need to make an in-depth self-
examination of their own:
A. Motivation and commitment to caring.
B. Social, cultural, and biophysical factors.
C. Engagement in cross-cultural interactions.
D. Background, recognizing her biases and prejudices.
CORRECT ANSWER
D. Background, recognizing her biases and prejudices.
Cultural awareness is an in-depth self-examination of one's own background, recognizing
biases and prejudices and assumptions about other people.
RATIONALE
Cultural awareness begins with introspective analysis of one's own background to identify personal
biases and prejudices, which is the key underlying concept tested. This self-reflection is
foundational for understanding and respecting diverse patient populations without imposing one's
own worldview.
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 50
Which of the following is required in the delivery of culturally congruent care?
A. Learning about vast cultures
B. Motivation and commitment to caring
C. Influencing treatment and care of patients
D. Acquiring specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes
CORRECT ANSWER
D. Acquiring specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes
Specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes are required in the delivery of culturally congruent
care.
Page 3
, RATIONALE
Culturally congruent care requires the acquisition of specific knowledge about diverse
populations, the development of skills to provide care that respects cultural differences, and the
cultivation of attitudes that promote understanding and acceptance. This holistic approach
enables healthcare providers to tailor interventions effectively to meet the unique needs of each
patient.
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 50
A registered nurse is admitting a patient of French heritage to the hospital. Which question
asked by the nurse indicates that the nurse is stereotyping the patient?
A. "What are your dietary preferences?"
B. "What time do you typically go to bed?"
C. "Do you bathe and use deodorant more than one time a week?"
D. "Do you have any health issues that we should know about?"
CORRECT ANSWER
C. "Do you bathe and use deodorant more than one time a week?"
Nurses need to avoid stereotypes or unwarranted generalizations about any particular group
that prevents further assessment of the individual's unique characteristics.
RATIONALE
Asking about bathing and deodorant frequency assumes a cultural norm regarding hygiene, which
is a harmful stereotype that overlooks individual practices and prevents a personalized assessment.
This question demonstrates a failure to recognize that hygiene habits are individual, not dictated by
national origin.
Q6 QUESTION 6 OF 50
When action is taken on one's prejudices:
A. Discrimination occurs.
B. Delivery of culturally congruent care is ensured.
C. Effective intercultural communication develops.
D. Sufficient comparative knowledge of diverse groups is obtained.
CORRECT ANSWER
A. Discrimination occurs.
Prejudices associate negative permanent characteristics with people who are different from
the valued group. When a person acts on these prejudices, discrimination occurs.
