If we have an African American client who may be eligible for a clinical trial of a new medication. In light of what happened with the Tuskegee Syphilis Study we should you proceed;

C: Offer the information to your client. In particular spell out the safeguards that in place to protect the rights of participants. (avoid the mistakes of Tuskegee Syphilis Study where the clients were kept uninformed)

Ethnocentrism;

Barrier to participation across cultures

A tendency to see reality through one's own cultural perspective.

Hence the option; B and C is correct as Ethnocentrism is the process of dividing cultures as “us” and “them”.

According to Stone and Moskovitz training in implicit bias is detrimental to cultural competency training;

False. However, contemporary training in cultural competence is insufficient to reduce these problems because of the fact that even educated, culturally sensitive, egalitarian individuals can activate and use their biases without being aware they are doing so.
