Cognitive and Emotional Development — Unit test

Question 2 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

Which of the following is the best example of a benefit of cultural diversity?

Answer

By being aware that patients are of a different race, healthcare providers can get a hospital translator to help explain their treatment.

By being aware that people of different backgrounds have varying practices and beliefs, healthcare providers can tailor their care to meet their needs.

By being aware that society is diverse, healthcare providers can identify patients by their ethnicity to make sure they fill out paperwork correctly.

By being aware of the fact that patients come from all ethnicities, healthcare providers can make sure they order the right tests based on their racial profile.

Explanation

Cultural diversity includes differences in people’s practices, beliefs, and needs. Recognizing those differences lets healthcare providers tailor care to each patient, which is a direct benefit. Choice B describes this; the other choices focus on race or ethnicity as a shortcut rather than understanding an individual patient.
