Question 1 of 5
A nurse is working with a client who has limited English proficiency and uses an interpreter. Which of the following strategies should the nurse use to facilitate effective communication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should speak directly to the client and use simple words, as this shows respect and helps to establish rapport. The nurse should also maintain eye contact with the client, not the interpreter, and avoid using jargon, slang, or idioms that may be confusing or culturally inappropriate.
Question 2 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. Some Muslim clients may have religious or cultural restrictions on being touched by members of the opposite sex who are not their spouses or relatives. The nurse should honor the client's preference and arrange for a same-sex nurse if possible.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who identifies as transgender and is scheduled for gender-affirming surgery. What is the most appropriate way for the nurse to address the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should respect the client's autonomy and dignity by addressing them by their preferred name and gender identity, regardless of their legal status or surgical status. This demonstrates cultural competence and sensitivity, and fosters a trusting relationship between the nurse and the client.

A nurse is caring for a client who has sickle cell anemia and is experiencing a vaso-occlusive crisis. The client belongs to the Jehovah's Witness faith and refuses blood transfusions. What is the best action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse should respect the client's right to autonomy and self-determination, and honor their religious beliefs and preferences regarding blood transfusions. The nurse should provide supportive care, such as hydration, oxygenation, pain management, and infection prevention, to help the client cope with the vaso-occlusive crisis.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is conducting a health assessment for a client who identifies as Native American. The nurse notices that the client avoids eye contact during the interview. How should the nurse interpret this behavior?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should interpret the client's behavior as showing respect and deference, as this is a common cultural norm among some Native American groups. Eye contact may be considered intrusive or aggressive in some cultures, and avoiding eye contact may indicate respect for authority or elders.
