Questions and Well Detailed Answers||
GRADED A+|| LATEST UPDATE 2026
Cultural Awareness -CORRECTANSWER :Self-examination of one's own prejudices
and biases toward other cultures. An in-depth exploration of one's own cultural/ethnic
background.
Cultural competence in nursing consists of four principles. -CORRECTANSWER 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. -CORRECTANSWER What do you call your problem?
What do you think caused your problem?
Why do you think it started when it did?
What does your sickness do to you?
What do you fear most about your sickness?
What are the chief problems your sickness has caused you?
,What kind of treatment do you think you should receive?
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 -CORRECTANSWER communication
(verbal and nonverbal);
personal space;
social organization;
time perception;
environmental control; and
biological variations.
The NCCC uses four major approaches to fulfill its mission, including -
CORRECTANSWER Web-based technical assistance, (2) knowledge development and
dissemination, (3) supporting a community of learners, and (4) collaboration and
partnerships with diverse groups.
Epidemiological Triad: -CORRECTANSWER host, agent, environment
Genetics -CORRECTANSWER The study of individual genes and their impact on
relatively rare single gene disorders
,Absolute risk -CORRECTANSWER is the probability of an event, such as illness, injury,
or death. Gives no indication of how its magnitude compares with others
The odds ratio -CORRECTANSWER closely approximates the relative risk if the
disease is rare.
Odds ratio and the relative risk are used -CORRECTANSWER to assess the strength of
association between risk factor and outcome.
How is Attributible risk used -CORRECTANSWER is used to make risk-based decisions
for individuals.
Population-attributable risk measures -CORRECTANSWER are used to form public
health decisions
EGAPP: -CORRECTANSWER Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and
Prevention
GAPPNet -CORRECTANSWER Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention
Network (established in 2009) is a collaborative initiative involving partners from across
the public health sector working together to realize the promise of genomics in health
care and disease prevention.
, GEDDI -CORRECTANSWER Genetics Early Disease Detection Intervention project
(GEDDI) (established in 2009) developed a model strategy for using clinical, genetic,
and family history information to reduce the risk of disease, death, and disability in
affected individuals, family members, and populations.
HuGENet -CORRECTANSWER Human Genome Epidemiology Network (HuGENet)
(established in 1998) helps translate genetic research findings into opportunities for
preventive medicines and public health by advancing the synthesis, interpretation, and
dissemination of population-based data on human genetic variation in health and
disease. HuGENet reviews are systematic, peer-reviewed synopses of the
epidemiologic aspects of human genes, including prevalence of allelic variants in
different populations, population-based information on disease risk, evidence for gene-
environment interaction and quantitative data on genetic tests and services carried out
according to specific guidelines.
NHANES III -CORRECTANSWER DC's Office of Public Health Genomics (established
in 2002) formed a multidisciplinary working group with members from across CDC. It
developed a proposal to measure the prevalence of selected genetic variants of public
health significance in a representative sample of the U.S. population and to examine the
association between the selected genetic variants and disease outcomes available in
NHANES III data.
