MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which statement is true regarding the relationship of physical characteristics and culture?
a. Physical characteristics should be used to identify members of cultural groups.
b. There is a difference between distinguishing cultural characteristics and
distinguishing physical characteristics.
c. To be a member of a specific culture, an individual must have certain identifiable
physical characteristics.
d. Gender and race are the two essential physical characteristics used to identify
cultural 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 does
not need to have certain identifiable physical characteristics. You should not confuse physical
characteristics with cultural characteristics. Gender and race are physical characteristics, not
cultural characteristics, and are not used to identify cultural groups.
2. An image of any group that rejects its potential for originality or individuality is known as
a(n)
a. acculturation.
b. norm.
c. stereotype.
d. ethnos.
ANS: C
A fixed image of any group that rejects its potential for originality or individuality is the
definition of stereotype. Acculturation is the process of adopting another culture’s behaviors.
A norm is a standard of allowable behavior within a group. Ethnos implies the same race or
nationality.
3. 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 and
in 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 not
support 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 control
policy.
4. The motivation of the healthcare professional to ―want to‖ engage in the process of becoming
culturally competent, not ―have to,‖ is called
a. cultural knowledge.
b. cultural awareness.
c. cultural desire.
d. cultural skill.
ANS: C
Cultural encounters are the continuous process of interacting with patients from culturally
diverse backgrounds to validate, refine, or modify existing values, beliefs, and practices about
a cultural group and to develop cultural desire, cultural awareness, cultural skill, and cultural
knowledge. Cultural awareness is deliberate self-examination and in-depth exploration of
one’s biases, stereotypes, prejudices, assumptions, and ―-isms‖ that one holds about
individuals and groups who are different from them. Cultural knowledge is the process of
seeking and obtaining a sound educational base about culturally and ethnically diverse groups.
Cultural skill is the ability to collect culturally relevant data regarding the patient’s presenting
problem, as well as accurately performing a culturally based physical assessment in a
culturally sensitive manner. Cultural desire is the motivation of the healthcare professional to
want to engage in the process of becoming culturally competent, not have to.
5. Mr. Marks is a 66-year-old patient who presents for a physical examination to the clinic.
Which question has the most potential for exploring a patient’s cultural beliefs related to a
health problem?
a. ―How often do you have medical examinations?‖
b. ―What is your age, race, and educational level?‖
c. ―What types of symptoms have you been having?‖
d. ―Why do you think you are having these symptoms?‖
ANS: D
