  • 2. 

    Reflecting on one's own culture assists with respecting alternate ones.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Reflecting on one's own culture helps individuals develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for different cultures. By examining their own beliefs, values, and traditions, individuals become more open-minded and tolerant towards alternate cultures. This self-reflection allows them to recognize the uniqueness and value of other cultures, fostering respect and acceptance. Therefore, the statement "Reflecting on one's own culture assists with respecting alternate ones" is true.

    Only large organisations are required to incorporate diversity in a workplace.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because diversity in the workplace is important for organizations of all sizes, not just large organizations. Incorporating diversity allows for a broader range of perspectives, experiences, and ideas, which can lead to increased innovation, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. It also promotes inclusivity and equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of their background or characteristics. Therefore, all organizations, regardless of their size, should strive to incorporate diversity in their workplace.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that social behaviors of drinking alcohol and humor are universal. However, this is not true as social behaviors can vary greatly across different cultures and societies. While drinking alcohol may be common in some cultures, it may be prohibited or less prevalent in others. Similarly, humor can be subjective and what is considered funny in one culture may not be in another. Therefore, it is incorrect to claim that these social behaviors are universal.

    Correct Answer

    Answering quickly to resolve a conflict may not always be a positive behavior to manage a resolution sensitively. While it is important to address and resolve conflicts promptly, doing so without careful consideration and understanding of the situation can lead to hasty decisions or misunderstandings. It is crucial to actively listen, stay calm, and follow policies and procedures to ensure a fair and effective resolution.

    An organisation may benefit from valuing workplace diversity by Increased innovation and increased productivity.

    • Both statements are false

    • First statement is true, second statement is false

    • First statement is false, second statement is true

    Correct Answer
    A. Both statements are true
    Explanation
    Valuing workplace diversity can lead to increased innovation as individuals from different backgrounds bring unique perspectives and ideas to the table. This can result in a wider range of solutions and creativity within the organization. Additionally, valuing diversity can also lead to increased productivity as employees feel more included and motivated, leading to higher engagement and efficiency in their work. Therefore, both statements are true.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Tick the ways to contribute to diversity within an organisation

    • Following legislation

    • Following policies and procedures

    • Consult in policy reviews

    • Show respect to others

    • Show empathy to others

    • Show disinterest in others

    • Conceal own culture

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Following legislation
    A. Following policies and procedures
    A. Consult in policy reviews
    A. Show respect to others
    A. Show empathy to others
    Explanation
    By following legislation, an organization ensures that it is complying with laws and regulations that promote diversity and prevent discrimination. Following policies and procedures also contributes to diversity by implementing guidelines that promote equal opportunities and inclusion. Consulting in policy reviews allows for input from diverse perspectives, ensuring that policies are fair and inclusive. Showing respect and empathy towards others creates an inclusive and welcoming environment for people from different backgrounds. Concealing one's own culture may hinder diversity efforts as it discourages individuals from expressing and celebrating their unique identities.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Having empathy with someone is the same as agreeing with them?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Having empathy with someone means understanding and sharing their feelings, but it does not necessarily mean agreeing with them. Empathy allows us to connect with others on an emotional level and understand their perspective, even if we may have different opinions or beliefs. It is possible to empathize with someone without endorsing or supporting their ideas or actions. Therefore, the statement that having empathy with someone is the same as agreeing with them is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    All of the following are strategies to overcome communication barriers, except?

    • Completing someone's sentences

    • Using appropriate body language

    • Actively listening

    • Use drawings or images

    Correct Answer
    A. Completing someone's sentences
    Explanation
    Completing someone's sentences is not a strategy to overcome communication barriers because it can be seen as interrupting or assuming what the person is trying to say. This can lead to misunderstandings and hinder effective communication. On the other hand, using appropriate body language, actively listening, and using drawings or images are all strategies that can help overcome communication barriers by enhancing understanding, engagement, and clarity in communication.

This is because supervisors are usually trained in conflict resolution and can provide guidance and support in resolving the conflict effectively. The second statement emphasizes the importance of demonstrating respect and sensitivity when dealing with unresolved conflicts.

    • Managers model positive behaviour

    • Limit discussions on discrimination with staff

    • Establish a complaint policy

    Correct Answer

    • True

    • Only speak English

    Tick all of the following issues that contributed to the following misunderstanding:Carla was a receptionist at the front desk of busy medical practice. Two different patients arrived at the same time, Mr. Ho and Mr. Ko, while Carla was on the telephone. She nodded to them both and gave each a pre-set clipboard and pen while continuing her telephone conversation. Carla was mindful that the doctors were running late and instructed Judy, a nurse, to take Mr Ho to a clinic room where he can complete the form there and start to collect his blood to help them stay to schedule. Judy nodded in agreeance while Carla helps with another patient with their payments.  Soon afterwards, the nurse was surprised to learn that she had prepared the wrong patient.

    • Being impatient

    • No empathy

    • Being closed-minded

    • Distractions

    • Poor Listening

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Being impatient
    A. Distractions
    A. Poor Listening
    Explanation
    The misunderstanding in this scenario can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, Carla's impatience led her to multitask by giving both patients a clipboard and pen without properly communicating with them. This lack of empathy and closed-mindedness prevented her from considering the potential consequences of her actions. Additionally, Carla's distractions, such as being on the telephone and helping another patient with payments, further contributed to the confusion. Lastly, poor listening skills on both Carla and Judy's part resulted in the nurse preparing the wrong patient.
