3. It doesn't occur because people are already acculturated when they immigrate to the United States.
4. The study of different cultures and subcultures
Correct Answer: 1
Acculturation is the process of "becoming a competent participant in the dominant culture." It is also referred to as assimilation, which is the integration of the cultural patterns of the dominant or host culture into the person's way of life. Spector suggests that it takes three generations for a family to become fully assimilated into the American culture. People are not automatically acculturated when they immigrate into the United States. The study of different cultures and subcultures with respect to nursing care is known as transcultural nursing.
