This or that?
Family focus is on examining life goals
and accomplishment.
a. families with young children
b. families with older adults
c. families with middle aged adults -
ANSWER-c. families with middle-aged
adults
During middle age, families examine
what's been accomplished. They are
coping with aging and the empty nest,
but it is a time of role fulfillment, career
success, financial security, and social
comfort. Families with young children
are focused on care and raising the
children and can experience financial
stress. Families with older adults risk
social isolation and loneliness because of
the loss of relationships and changing
family dynamics.
Besides clients and families who speak
different languages, what else can create
language barriers in healthcare
a. use of healthcare jargon
b. lack of slang
c. use of interpreters - ANSWER-a. use of
healthcare jargon
In the United States, the number of
residents who speak English as a second
language or don't speak English at all is
growing, and this is a barrier to culturally
competent care. Healthcare jargon can
also be a barrier, because healthcare
workers use many terms and words that
are not common English vocabulary
words. Street talk, slang, and jargon
along with a lack of knowledge also lead
to barriers in communication in the
healthcare setting. The use of
interpreters would decrease healthcare
barriers.
People has this in common, but it
changes over time
a. race
b. ethnicity
c. culture - ANSWER-c. culture
Culture is defined as "the totality of
socially transmitted behavior pattern,
arts, beliefs, values, customs, lifeways,
and all other products of human work
and thought characteristic of a
population of people that guides their
worldview and decision making" (Purnell
& Paulanka, 2008). Because these
characteristics fluctuate as a person lives
in different environments, becomes
more educated, and is exposed to more
people with different views, change
occurs over time. Ethnicity is similar to
culture, but it is social and cultural
heritage passed down from generation
to generation. Race is the grouping of
people based on biological similarities.
Belief that people of certain race or
ethnic type are all alike
a. cultural universal
b. cultural stereotype
c. cultural archetype - ANSWER-b.
cultural stereotype
Cultural stereotype is a fixed impression
of a person based on his race with little
basis in fact or knowledge of the
individual; an example is the belief that
someone from a certain race is highly
educated or poor. Cultural universals (or
commonalities) are general values,
beliefs, and practices that people from
all cultures share, such as the
celebration of the birth of a child or
marriage. Cultural archetype is a symbol
for remembering culture specifics and is
usually not negative, such as Mexican
Americans having brown eyes.
A person who identifies with 2 cultures
a. multicultural
b. bicultural
c. polycultural - ANSWER-b. bicultural
A person who is bicultural relates to two
cultures. Consider someone who was
raised by a Native American mother and
an African American father. Beliefs from
both cultures are a part of who that
person has become. Multicultural means
that many cultures come together in one
common goal. Consider the diversity on
your college campus. People of many
cultures come together as college
students. Polycultural is not referenced
in humans.
People of a larger social system that
have some characteristics that are
different from the larger group
a. ethnocentrism
b. subculture
c. minority groups - ANSWER-b.
subculture
