Diversity and Safety Test
Read the ward scenario, then answer each question. For multiple-choice questions, choose the best answer. For short and long answers, explain your thinking respectfully.
Finn is visiting a hospital ward with his whānau. Oliver, another patient, uses a wheelchair and prefers people to ask before helping him. Mere is a nurse who speaks both te reo Māori and English. While waiting, Finn hears someone imitate Oliver’s way of speaking and make a joke about Mere’s pronunciation of a Māori word. Oliver looks uncomfortable and becomes quiet. Mere calmly asks everyone to speak respectfully. Finn wants to help, but he is unsure what to do.
Understand safety and inclusion
Use the scenario to think about how respect, empathy and safe choices can help people feel included.
1.Which statement best explains how mocking someone’s accent or disability could affect safety in the ward?
- It can make people feel unwelcome or unsafe and less likely to ask for help.
- It makes everyone more comfortable because it is only a joke.
- It has no effect unless someone is physically hurt.
- It helps people learn to ignore their feelings.
2.Oliver prefers people to ask before helping him. What is the most respectful thing Finn can do if he thinks Oliver may need help?
- Move Oliver’s wheelchair without asking.
- Ask Oliver if he would like help, and respect his answer.
- Ask another patient to decide for Oliver.
- Avoid speaking to Oliver at all.
3.Choose two safe, helpful actions Finn could take after hearing the jokes.
- Tell the person calmly that mocking others is not okay.
- Join in so the person being teased does not feel singled out.
- Check in with Oliver and ask how he is feeling.
- Start an argument and threaten the person.
4.Showing respect for someone’s culture means you must have the same beliefs and customs as they do.
5.In this scenario, what does empathy mean? Complete the sentence: “Empathy means trying to understand how Oliver or Mere might feel by…”
6.Write one sentence Finn could use to interrupt the teasing calmly, without making the situation more heated.
7.Name two ways people in a hospital ward can show respect for cultural differences, including the use of te reo Māori.
8.If Finn feels unable to safely speak up, who could he tell, and what could he say?
9.Describe two things Finn could do next to help Oliver feel included, and explain why one of those actions might help.
