One task of an administrator of a culturally sensitive mental health system would be to:
a. eliminate all staff bias related to cultural diversity.
b. hire significant numbers of minority health care providers.
c. incorporate the values of culture competency into all levels of care.
d. keep access to care open for the dominant ethnic, social, and religious groups.
C
Incorporating the value of culture into all levels of care is desirable. Eliminating all staff bias is unlikely, hiring significant numbers of minority health care providers is not appropriate or realistic, and keeping access to care open for minority groups would be an act that is independent of cultural sensitivity.
