Cultural Diversity and Competence in Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is evaluating the effectiveness of a cultural competence training program. Which outcome is the nurse most likely to measure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse is most likely to measure client satisfaction scores to evaluate the effectiveness of a cultural competence training program. This is because cultural competence aims to provide care that respects and values the cultural beliefs and practices of clients, leading to improved satisfaction. Increasing client acuity levels (A) is not directly related to cultural competence training. Reduction in health care costs (B) may not directly reflect the impact of cultural competence. Decrease in client wait times (D) is important but may not specifically measure the impact of cultural competence on client experiences.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse, concerned that unconscious bias might hinder their cultural humility in providing care to clients with backgrounds different from their own, completes the Social Identity Wheel. Which statement describes the nurse's purpose for using this assessment tool?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the purpose of using the Social Identity Wheel is to assess how the nurse's own identity influences the care they provide to clients with diverse backgrounds. By understanding their own biases and cultural background, the nurse can better navigate interactions with clients and ensure culturally competent care. Choice A is incorrect because the tool focuses on the nurse's identity, not the client's. Choice B is incorrect as it oversimplifies the purpose by suggesting ignoring biases rather than addressing and understanding them. Choice D is incorrect as the tool is not used to confirm cultural sensitivity but rather to evaluate the nurse's own biases and identity.
Question 3 of 5
Which action by a nurse represents the practice of decolonization?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because decolonization involves recognizing and challenging dominating colonial influences. This action aims to dismantle systems of oppression and power imbalances rooted in colonial history. By acknowledging and confronting these influences, nurses can promote cultural humility, equity, and respect for diverse perspectives. Incorrect answers: A: Enforcing Eurocentric ideologies perpetuates cultural dominance and fails to address colonial legacies. B: Prioritizing certain cultural perspectives over others reinforces hierarchies and may marginalize marginalized groups. D: Eliminating traditional healing practices disregards cultural diversity and restricts patient autonomy in healthcare decision-making.
Question 4 of 5
Which action by a nurse demonstrates conscious impermeability in the continuum of developing cultural humility?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rationale: Choice A is correct as it indicates that the nurse consistently operates from a place of cultural humility, showing awareness, respect, and openness to learning from diverse cultures. This reflects a conscious effort to engage in self-reflection and ongoing learning. Choices B, C, and D either mention struggling to demonstrate cultural humility or imply a lack of proactive effort in actively practicing cultural humility, which are not reflective of conscious impermeability in the continuum of cultural humility development.
Question 5 of 5
According to Campinha-Bacote's "Process of Cultural Competemility in the Delivery of Healthcare Services" model, which question by a nurse represents the "E" in the mnemonic "A-S-K-E-D" for self-examination?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step 1: The "E" in the "A-S-K-E-D" mnemonic stands for "Examine your biases and prejudices." Step 2: Answer choice A directly addresses this aspect by asking, "Am I aware of my prejudices and biases and the presence of racism and other 'isms'?" Step 3: This question prompts the nurse to reflect on their own potential biases and prejudices, which is crucial for providing culturally competent care. Step 4: Therefore, answer choice A is the correct choice as it aligns with the specific aspect of self-examination related to addressing biases and prejudices. Summary: - Choice B focuses on conducting assessments in a culturally sensitive manner, not on examining biases. - Choice C emphasizes knowledge about different cultures, not self-reflection on biases. - Choice D talks about resolving conflicts and interacting with different cultures, but not specifically about examining biases and prejudices.
