ANS:Â B
Culture refers to the learned, shared, and transmitted knowledge of values, beliefs, and ways of life of a particular group that generally are transmitted from one generation to another and influence the individual person’s thinking, decisions, and actions in patterned or certain ways. Ethnicity is the person’s identification with or membership in a particular racial, national, or cultural group and observation of the group’s customs, beliefs, and language. The words may be used interchangeably by some people, but this is not correct.

ANS:Â D
Enculturation is the process of passing a culture down from generation to generation. Culture can be taught directly, for instance, with the grandmother teaching the child. Culture can also be taught indirectly as when a child observes a role in the community. The student observing the grandmother teaching a child is the best example of enculturation.

| b. | Allow the family to stay when the Russian patient is told he has cancer. |
| c. | Start a meeting with a Hispanic family promptly on time. |
| d. | Have the Amish patient watch patient education podcasts. |
ANS:Â A
Some generalizations can be made about cultural groups; however, the nurse must remember that each person is an individual who needs individualized assessment and care. Given that caution, Muslims often prefer same-sex caregivers. Russians typically do not share bad news with the patient. Hispanics often view time and punctuality with more flexibility than other groups. The Amish usually avoid technology.
