The nurse practitioner sees patients in a community clinic that is
located in a predominately White neighborhood. After
performing assessments on the majority of the patients visiting

living within the neighborhood have lost the cultural

this process?
Cultural assimilation
Cultural imposition
Culture shock
Ethnocentrism - ANSWER-a. When minority groups live within
a dominant group, many members lose the cultural
characteristics that once made them different in a process called
assimilation. Cultural imposition occurs when one person
believes that everyone should conform to his or her own belief

different culture perceived as strange, and ethnocentrism is the
belief that the ideas, beliefs, and practices of one's own cultural
group are best, superior, or most preferred to those of other
groups.
