Cultural competence is a core interpersonal competency that ensures services respect and align with an individual’s cultural context. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain I: Interpersonal Competencies) emphasizes delivering services that are responsive to cultural health beliefs, practices, and language (Task I.A.2: "Demonstrate cultural competence in service delivery"). Option B (practitioners’ services must be compatible with cultural health beliefs, practices, and language) aligns with this by prioritizing culturally responsive care, such as adapting interventions to respect the individual’s cultural values, health beliefs, and preferred language, which is critical for a recent immigrant.

Option A (acculturate the individual) is inappropriate, as it implies assimilating the individual into the dominant culture, contradicting recovery-oriented, culturally competent principles. Option C (assigning practitioners of the same cultural background) is not always feasible or necessary and may limit access to services. Option D (using interpreters) is a useful tool but narrower than Option B, which encompasses broader cultural compatibility beyond language. The PRA Study Guide and Code of Ethics emphasize culturally responsive care as essential for effective service delivery, supporting Option B.
