New York Social Work Ebook Continuing Education

78. What are ways Healthcare professionals can be effective as “change agents” working to transform oppressive features of the institutional and societal environments? a. The healthcare professional can act as advocate and actively speak with and, when necessary, for members of populations who are oppressed by the dominant society. b. The healthcare professional works with the patient to identify external contributors to the problem and to remediate the consequences of oppression. c. The healthcare professional engages in critical self-reflection in the context of cultural humility includes analysis of power differentials and how those differentials may play out on both individual and institutional levels. d. All of the above. 79. How does the approach of cultural humility differ from the multicultural competence approach? a. Multicultural patient care delivery and cultural competency frameworks do NOT assume that the healthcare professional is White and that patients are the “other” and set out to describe what various racial and ethnic groups believe and how they act as a group. On the other hand, a cultural humility framework emphasizes self-understanding as primary to understanding others. b. There is no difference between these approaches. c. The approach of cultural humility differs from the multicultural competency approach in that it recognizes that knowledge of different cultural backgrounds is not sufficient to develop an effective patient/healthcare professional relationship with each individual. d. Cultural competence encourages ongoing critical self-reflection, asking the healthcare professionals to delve into their cultural identity and its effect on the delivery of patient care.

80. What is NOT a criticism of multicultural patient care delivery and cultural competence frameworks? a. They do not present a social change/social justice perspective (Fisher-Borne et al., 2015). b. Focus on having healthcare professionals gain knowledge regarding differing racial and ethnic groups and assuming that there is an end point in cultural training. c. Having a created model that serves to “other” ethnic, racial, and various minority groups (Carten, 2016, p. xlii) while not acknowledging “Whiteness” as an identity and as a culture. d. Emphasizes understanding self as well as understanding patients.
