Chapter 7 : Overview of Transcultural Nursing Questions
Question 1 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 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
What aspect of Leiningers theory is the nurse addressing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Culture care restructuring or repatterning refers to professional actions and decisions that help patients reorder, change, or modify their lifestyles toward new, different, or more beneficial health care patterns. The other listed options are not part of Leiningers theory.
Question 4 of 5
What term would best describe this religions beliefs and their impact on health care for this child?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cultural taboos are activities or behaviors that are avoided, forbidden, or prohibited by a particular cultural group. The other answers do not apply.
Question 5 of 5
When interacting with patients and families, of what must the nurse be cognizant?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Because the nursepatient interaction is the focal point of nursing, nurses should consider their own cultural orientation when conducting assessments of patients and their families and friends. The nurses health is relevant, but secondary. Similarly, the institutional culture is not a priority. Acculturation is not actively promoted by the nurse.
