The organization will also respect the cultural differences of the person it serves. Additionally, the organization's policies will recognize the importance of culture in shaping people's values and behaviors. Therefore, all of the above statements are true.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False

    All of the statements listed below are common in organizations that lack cultural awareness except:

    • Fear of the unknown

    • Denial of differences

    • Mandated and professional requirements to be culturally competent

    • Lack of knowledge

    • Lack of recognition by leadership

    • Time and work constraints

    Correct Answer
    A. Mandated and professional requirements to be culturally competent
    Explanation
    In organizations that lack cultural awareness, fear of the unknown, denial of differences, lack of knowledge, lack of recognition by leadership, and time and work constraints are common. However, mandated and professional requirements to be culturally competent would not be common in such organizations. This suggests that these organizations do not prioritize or enforce the need for employees to have cultural competence as a professional requirement.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The first step in becoming a culturally competent organization is to develop a training program that will increase the skills and abilities of all employees in the area of cultural competence.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the first step in becoming a culturally competent organization is not necessarily to develop a training program. While training programs can be helpful in increasing employees' skills and abilities in cultural competence, there are other steps that can be taken before developing a training program. These steps may include conducting a cultural assessment, creating a diversity and inclusion policy, or establishing a diversity committee.
