Chapter 7 : Overview of Transcultural Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
When explaining the concept of transcultural nursing to uninitiated nurses, how should the team members describe it?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Transcultural nursing, a term sometimes used interchangeably with cross-cultural, intercultural, or multicultural nursing, refers to research-focused practice that focuses on patient-centered, culturally competent nursing. It is not limited to language barriers and foreign-born patients. It does not focus solely on health risks and benefits in ethnic groups.
Question 2 of 5
What should the staff educator identify as the underlying focus of transcultural nursing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The underlying focus of transcultural nursing is to provide culture-specific and culture-universal care that promotes the well-being or health of individuals, families, groups, communities, and institutions. It is not limited to institutions, communities, or marginalized groups.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following policies are congruent with the principles of culturally competent nursing care? Mark all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Policies that promote culturally competent care establish flexible regulations pertaining to visitors (number, frequency, and length of visits), provide translation services for nonEnglish-speaking patients, and train staff to provide care for patients with different cultural values. Cultural competence does not depend on culturally diverse staff on every unit and it does not necessarily prioritize the interests of individuals born outside the country.
Question 4 of 5
When using this model in the care of a patient who has had a transurethral prostate resection (TUPR), what area of care would be influenced most directly?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Giger and Davidhizar identified communication, space, time orientation, social organization, environmental control, and biologic variations as relevant phenomena. Explaining CBI requires clear communication. Transferring a patient to a bed, administering Tylenol, or documenting are nursing responsibilities that are less directly relevant to this model.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse should consider what phenomenon that tends to occur in patients of all ages when they are ill?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: During illness, patients of all ages tend to regress, and the regression often involves language skills. The other tendencies do not apply in this case.
