D) Cultural blindness
A
Feedback:
Providing culturally competent care is a process by which the nurse consistently endeavors to work in the cultural context of the client and his or her family and community. Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own ethnic heritage is the "correct" one and superior to others. Acculturation involves adapting to or taking on the behaviors of another group. Cultural blindness is an inability to recognize the values, beliefs, and practices of others because of strong ethnocentric preferences.
