, ANSWERS
1. ANS: A Rationale: When interacting with patients, clinicians must be aware that their
attitudes are expressed at a conscious level as well as an unconscious level. Our
experiences have a great deal to do with how we interact with patients and shape our
attitudes and beliefs. Unchallenged assumptions can create negative interactions with our
patients.
2. ANS: B Rationale: Although the 72-year-old man may experience age bias, the 28-year-
old obese Mexican woman with chest pain may be subject to bias based on obesity,
nationality, and gender, as well as on symptoms that are not as well recognized in a
young person or in a female.
3. ANS: D Rationale: Using gender- and sexual orientation-neutral terminology conveys
respect and acceptance. “Are you in a relationship?” invites inclusivity compared with
“Are you married?” or “What is your wife’s name?”
4. ANS: D Rationale: When we find commonalities with our patients, they tend to minimize
our biases. Being aware of behaviors in others will not help us individually face our
biases. It is inappropriate to attempt to reinforce our biases with peer groups, because
doing so does not help change our beliefs. An annual reflection is hardly adequate to
meaningfully identify and change our biases.
5. ANS: C Rationale: Body language is used to negotiate interpersonal attitudes and is
typically easier to interpret than spoken words. Words, not body language, are used
primarily to communicate information. Body language makes up the majority of our
communication––about 93%, not 25%, of our communication.
6. ANS: C Rationale: Asking how the patient prefers to be addressed avoids assumptions
about gender or familiarity and empowers the patient. Although patient understanding is
important, there are more effective ways to make sure that your patients have understood
key concepts, such as asking them to repeat information back to you or asking if they can
imagine making the requested change. Using medical terms when explaining
interventions may be confusing to patients.
7. ANS: C Rationale: Poor productivity and frequent absenteeism are common signs of
moderate to severe burnout.
8. ANS: A Rationale: Care would be most regulated for a 6-month-old boy undergoing
shunt placement, because this patient is likely the most vulnerable and least likely to be
able to advocate for himself. In general, the greater the perceived vulnerability of the
population, the more closely regulated the care is. Older patients can also experience
increased vulnerability, but as adults they are assumed to be better able to advocate for
themselves and therefore require less oversight and regulation of their care than pediatric
patients.
9. ANS: D Rationale: Culture is best defined as the beliefs, customs, and norms of a
particular group. A group of people living in a specific area refers to a population or
community. A society is defined as the fact or state of belonging to a social group. Race
refers to the geographical characteristics associated with a group.
10. ANS: C Rationale: This option is the only example of engaging in a local aspect of the
dominant U.S. culture. The other options are examples of limited acclimation to U.S.
customs and attitudes.
