Which statement best explains the term "worldview"?
A. Beliefs and values held by people of a given culture about what is good, right, and normal.
B. Ideas derived from the major health care system of the culture about what causes illness.
C. Cultural norms about how, when, and to whom illness symptoms may be displayed.
D. Valuing one's beliefs and customs over those of another group. ✔️A.
A worldview is a system of thinking about how the world works and how people should behave in the
world and toward each other. It is from this view that people develop beliefs, values, and the practices
that guide their lives.
When members of a group are introduced to the culture's worldview, beliefs, values, and practices, it is
called
A. acculturation.
B. ethnocentrism.
C. enculturation.
D. cultural encounters. ✔️C.
Members of a group are introduced to the culture's worldview, beliefs, values, and practices in a process
called enculturation. Ethnocentrism is the universal tendency of humans to think that their way of
thinking and behaving is the only correct and natural way. Acculturation is learning the beliefs, values,
and practices of a new cultural setting, which sometimes takes several generations. Cultural encounters
occur when members of varying cultures meet and interact.
According to the Western scientific view of health, illness is the result of
A. pathogens.
B. energy blockage.
C. spirit invasion.
D. soul loss. ✔️A.
Disease has a cause (e.g., pathogens, toxins) that creates the effect; disease can be observed and
measured.
, Which healing practice is least used in the Western health system of healing practices?
A. Antibiotic medication
B. Surgery
C. Targeted cellular destruction
D. Restoring lost balance or harmony ✔️D.
The best treatment perspectives of various cultures include regaining lost balance and harmony. This
perspective is not used in Western culture.
Exclusive use of Western psychological theories by nurses making client assessments will result in
A. a high level of care for all clients.
B. standardization of nomenclature for psychiatric disorders.
C. inadequate assessment of clients of diverse cultures.
D. greater ease in selecting appropriate treatment interventions. ✔️C.
Unless clients have faith in a particular healing modality, the treatment may not be effective. When
nurses make assessments on the basis of Western theories, treatments consistent with those
assessments follow. Clients of other cultures may find the treatment modalities unacceptable or not
useful. Treatments consistent with the client's cultural beliefs as to what will provide a cure are better.
Clients of another culture are at greatest risk for misdiagnosis of a psychiatric problem because of
A. biased assessment tools.
B. insensitive practitioners.
C. insensitive interviewing techniques.
D. lack of the availability of cultural translators. ✔️C.
Inaccurate information or insufficient information may be obtained if the interviewer is not culturally
sensitive. Only when assessment data are accurate can effective treatment be planned.
