A client of Hmong descent who immigrated to the United States 5 years ago asks for the regular hospital menu because she likes American food. To which cultural concept should the nurse attribute this client's request?

2. Acculturation
3. Enculturation
4. Ethnocentrism
2
Explanation:
1. Stereotyping is assuming that all members of a group have the same characteristics.
2. Acculturation (assimilation) is the correct assessment because the client adapted to a new cultural norm in terms of food choices.
3. Enculturation is when culture is learned and passed on from generation to generation, and often happens when a group is isolated.
4. Ethnocentrism refers to a social identity that is associated with shared behaviors and patterns.
