A local hospital has established outreach clinics in the community to provide health care. Several staff members within the clinic component refuse to go to some of the outreach clinics claiming that the clinics are in a bad section of the community
and the residents there are not interested in health promotion. Which behavior is the staff demonstrating?
1. Cultural blindness.
2. Cultural incapacity.
3. Cultural destructiveness.
4. Cultural precompetence.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Cultural destructiveness occurs when members of the organization lack cultural knowledge. Linking an area of a community with a preconceived idea of its residents contributes to cultural destructiveness. Cultural incapacity occurs when there is token minority representation with no attempt to engage in any cross-cultural training. Cultural blindness is where the organization treats everyone the same way. Cultural precompetence is where the organization makes plans for cultural competence but is complacent about its efforts toward it.
