, A person states, My grandmother is the decision maker in our family. Which of
the following is being described by the person?
a. Culture
b. Race
c. Ethnicity
d. Values
ANS: A
Culture, as an element of ethnicity, refers to integrated patterns of human behavior that
include the language, thoughts, communications, actions, customs, beliefs, values, and
institutions of racial, ethnic, religious, or social groups. The term ethnicity encompasses
more than a cultural practice, which is what is being described by the person; it focuses
on differences in meanings, values, and ways of living. Race is associated with power
and indexes the history or ongoing imposition of ones groups authority above another.
Values are beliefs about the worth of something and serve as standards that influence
behavior and thinking.

mammogram. Which of the following would be the most important factor in this

b. Ethnicity

d. Value orientation
ANS: C
Cultural values guide actions and decision-making that facilitates self-worth and self-
esteem. They shape human behaviors and determine what individuals will do to
maintain their health status, how they will care for themselves, and others who become
ill, and where and from whom they will seek health care. Race is associated with power
and indexes the history or ongoing imposition of ones groups authority above another.
Ethnicity focuses on differences in meanings, values, and ways of living. Value
orientations reflect the personality type of a particular society.
Which of the following actions demonstrates a health care professional providing
culturally competent care?
a. Encouraging the person to take medications as prescribed
b. Asking the person to describe his folk healing methods
c. Demonstrating the proper way to administer an insulin injection
d. Assisting the person with discussing his health problems with the family
ANS: B
It is very important for health care providers to be aware of how people interpret their
health issues or illnesses to be capable to provide culturally competent care. A culturally
competent health care professional should be able to consistently and thoroughly
recognize and understand the differences in his or her culture and that of the patient or
client, to respect the persons values and beliefs, and adjust the approach of delivering
care to meet each persons needs and expectations. Asking the person to describe his
folk healing methods is the only action that demonstrates the health care professional
seeking input from the person into the care that is received.
