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.

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.
