Take the Quality and Culture Quiz. Note that this quiz is not a “test.” Your score is not as important as what you learn from the results of the quiz. It takes about 10 minutes to complete and is designed to assist you in learning about how culture influences health care.
After completing the quiz and reviewing your results, write a 2-page paper that reflects upon the following:
- What did you learn about how culture influences health care? Mention specific questions you answered correctly and those you answered incorrectly.
- What did you learn about yourself after taking the quiz? Mention your own strengths and weaknesses in terms of specific beliefs, concepts, and skills related to your ability to effectively work with and interact with diverse cultures in the healthcare setting.
