2.Cultural competence in nursing consists of four principles.
Answer Care is designed for the specific client.

3.The APN may also use the Kleinman Explanatory Model of Illness (1978).
Below are the questions that can be utilized.
Answer 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?
4.According to Giger and Davidhizer (2000), although cultures differ, they all
have the same basic organizing factors that must be assessed in order to
pro- vide care for culturally diverse patients. These factors include
Answer communication (verbal and nonverbal);
personal space;
social
organization; time
perception;
environmental control; and
biological variations.

dissemination,
(3) supporting a community of learners, and (4) collaboration and
partnerships with diverse groups.
,6.Epidemiological Triad
Answer host, agent, environment
7.Genetics
Answer The study of individual genes and their impact on relatively rare
single gene disorders
8.Absolute risk
Answer is the probability of an event, such as illness, injury, or death.
Gives no indication of how its magnitude compares with others
9.The odds ratio
Answer closely approximates the relative risk if the disease is rare.

preventive medicines and public health by advancing the synthesis,
interpretation, and dissem- ination of population-based data on human
