QUESTION

Which are types of discrimination? (Select all that apply.)

1. Cultural assimilation
2. Ageism
3. Homophobia
4. Racism
5. Cultural shock

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4

Discrimination is the differential treatment of one group or one person over another based on race, ethnicity, gender, age, social class, disability, sexual preference, or other distinguishing characteristic. In nursing, discrimination distracts from providing culturally competent care. Cultural assimilation is not a type of discrimination. Culture shock is the state of being disoriented or unable to respond to a different cultural environment because of its sudden strangeness, unfamiliarity, and incompatibility to the stranger’s perceptions and expectations.
