Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to conduct a physical examination for a client who is Muslim. Which action by the nurse demonstrates respect for the client's culture?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse demonstrates respect for the client's culture by asking the client if he or she prefers a male or female nurse to perform the examination.
