Patient Centered Care NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has recently immigrated from China and does not speak English. Which action by the nurse demonstrates cultural competence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse demonstrates cultural competence by using an interpreter to communicate with the client and family, ensuring that the information is conveyed accurately and respectfully, and that the client's preferences and needs are understood.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is conducting a health assessment on a new client who belongs to an indigenous community. The nurse notices that the client avoids eye contact and speaks in a low voice. How should the nurse interpret these behaviors?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should be aware that different cultures have different norms and expectations regarding eye contact and communication styles. In some indigenous cultures, avoiding eye contact and speaking in a low voice are considered respectful or humble behaviors, especially when interacting with someone in a position of authority or expertise.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who practices Islam and is admitted for surgery. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should allow the client to practice their religious rituals, such as praying five times a day facing Mecca, as this can help them cope with stress, anxiety, and pain, and promote healing and recovery. The nurse should also respect the client's privacy and dignity during their prayer times, and avoid interrupting or disturbing them unless necessary.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is working in a community health center that serves a diverse population of clients. The nurse notices that some clients from certain cultural groups tend to seek health care only when they have an acute problem or an emergency, rather than for preventive or routine care. What is the most likely reason for this behavior?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The most likely reason for this behavior is that the clients have a low socioeconomic status and face barriers to accessing health care, such as lack of insurance, transportation, or time. These factors may limit the clients' ability or willingness to seek preventive or routine care, and may increase their risk of developing or worsening chronic conditions.
Question 5 of 5
Which outcome statement is a properly written goal?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A proper goal is specific and measurable (C), stating what (get up), how often (once daily), and duration (1 hour). A is vague (pain-free level undefined), B lacks measurability (importance varies), and D, while specific, lacks clarity on techniques, making C the best-written goal.
