MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Mr. L presents to the clinic with severe groin pain and a history of kidney stones. Mr. L’s son
tells you that for religious reasons, his father wishes to keep any stone that is passed into
the urine filter that he has been using. What is your most appropriate response?

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
andin 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 notsupport 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 controlpolicy.

b. There is a difference between distinguishing cultural characteristics
anddistinguishing physical characteristics.
c. To be a member of a specific culture, an individual must have certain
identifiablephysical characteristics.
d. Gender and race are the two essential physical characteristics used to
identifycultural groups.
ANS: B
Physical characteristics are not used to identify cultural groups; there is a difference
between the two, and they are considered separately. Physical characteristics should not be
used to identify members of cultural groups. To be a member of a specific culture, an
individual doesnot need to have certain identifiable physical characteristics. You should not
confuse physicalcharacteristics with cultural characteristics. Gender and race are physical
characteristics, not cultural characteristics, and are not used to identify cultural groups.
