Chapter 6 : Cultural and Ethnic Considerations Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an Orthodox Jewish patient. What is the most appropriate dietary requirement for the nurse to implement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For observant Jews, Kosher dietary laws include the following: no mixing of milk and meat at a meal; no consumption of food or any derivative thereof from animals not slaughtered in accordance with Jewish law; use of separate cooking utensils for meat and milk products; if a patient requires milk and meat products for a meal, the dairy foods should be served first, followed later by the meat.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is preparing an Orthodox Jewish patient's tray during Passover. What intervention is appropriate for this patient?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Orthodox Jews say prayers over the bread and wine before meals. Time and a quiet environment should be provided for this. During Passover, no leavened products are eaten.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to discuss birth control options for a Roman Catholic patient. What is the most appropriate method for the nurse to discuss with this patient?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Birth control for Roman Catholics is prohibited except for abstinence or natural family planning. Referral to a priest for questions about this can be of great help. Nurses can teach the techniques of natural family planning if they are familiar with them; otherwise, this should be referred to the health care provider or to a support group of the Church that instructs couples in this method of birth control. Sterilization is prohibited unless there is an overriding medical reason.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing a meal tray for a patient who is a Latter-Day Saint. What beverage should the nurse prepare?

Rationale: For observant Latter-Day Saints, beverages with caffeine such as cola, coffee, and tea; alcohol; and other substances are considered injurious.
Question 5 of 5
