Feedback
1 Culture describes a particular society’s entire way of living, encompassing
shared patterns of belief, feeling, and knowledge that guide people’s conduct
and are passed down from generation to generation. It does not focus on the
color of a client’s skin and reactions to medications.
2 Ethnicity relates to groups of people who identify with each other because of a
, shared social and cultural heritage passed on to each successive generation
(Giger, 2017). It does not relate to the skin color of clients and reactions to
medications.
3 Some scientists argue the benefit of understanding racial differences in
evaluating response to treatments such as medications. Race may be
understood as a more biological term, describing a group of people who share
similar
inherited characteristics such as skin color, facial features, and blood groups.
4 Assimilate is incorporating practices and values of the majority culture. It does
not relate to the effects of medication based upon a client’s skin color.

Feedback
1 The nurse should maintain eye contact with the client rather than with the
interpreter.
2 Whenever possible, use a certified interpreter with a background in healthcare,
not relatives or children. Relatives or children may not be objective or may have
difficulty relaying information about sensitive topics.
3 The nurse should avoid talking separately with the interpreter at length; the
client may feel left out and distrustful.
, 4 The nurse should avoid using medical jargon or colloquialisms that the
interpreter or client may not understand.
