―The Stone Must Be Sent To The Lab For Examination And Therefore Cannot Be Kept‖ And

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.

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
―Why Do You Think You Are Having These Symptoms?‖ Is An Open-Ended Question That
Avoids Stereotyping, Is Sensitive And Respectful Toward The Individual, And Allows For
Cultural Data To Be Exchanged. The Other Questions Do Not Explore The Patient’s Cultural
Beliefs About Health Problems.
