Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a migrant worker who has abdominal pain. Which of the following questions should the nurse include as part of a culturally sensitive assessment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it is the most culturally sensitive and inclusive question. By asking about medications, herbs, and home treatments, the nurse acknowledges and respects the individual's cultural beliefs and practices regarding healthcare. This approach promotes open communication and understanding. A: This question assumes the individual has used over-the-counter medications, which may not align with their cultural practices. C: This question may come off as accusatory or judgmental, potentially leading to a breakdown in communication. D: This question is not relevant to the individual's healthcare needs and focuses on their work environment rather than their health.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client from a different cultural background who is experiencing chronic pain. The nurse asks the client, "Mr. Smith, I would like to understand how you generally manage pain or if you have any preferences for pain management. Could you please share with me any cultural practices or approaches that you or your family find helpful in managing pain?" The nurse's approach is most closely aligned with which of the following models?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Giger and Davidhizar transcultural assessment model. This model emphasizes the importance of understanding a client's cultural beliefs and practices to provide culturally competent care. In this scenario, the nurse's approach of asking about the client's cultural practices aligns with this model. The nurse is showing respect for the client's cultural background and seeking to incorporate cultural preferences into pain management, which is a key component of the Giger and Davidhizar model. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect: B: Leininger's culture care diversity and universality theory focuses on the importance of culture in healthcare but does not specifically address transcultural assessment. C: Purnell model for cultural competence provides a framework for cultural assessment but does not emphasize the same level of personalized approach as the Giger and Davidhizar model. D: Peplau's interpersonal relations theory is a nursing theory that focuses on therapeutic relationships between nurses and clients, but it does not specifically address
Question 3 of 5
A client who is pregnant and from a Middle Eastern background expresses discomfort with receiving prenatal care from health care providers who are men. To provide culturally responsive care for the client, the nurse should:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it promotes client-centered care and cultural competence. By discussing the client's concerns and collaborating to find a solution, the nurse respects the client's cultural preferences while also addressing their healthcare needs. This approach builds trust, enhances communication, and promotes positive health outcomes. Choice A is incorrect because it disregards the client's cultural preferences, which may lead to the client feeling uncomfortable and potentially avoiding prenatal care. Choice B is incorrect as it may not address the client's discomfort with male healthcare providers and could overlook the importance of addressing the client's concerns collaboratively. Choice C is incorrect because it dismisses the client's concerns, which goes against providing culturally responsive care and may result in the client feeling unheard and disrespected.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a client from a different cultural background and notices that the client seems reluctant to ask questions or express concerns. Which of the following strategies should the nurse implement to ensure culturally sensitive care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Option C is the correct answer because creating a safe and open environment for the client to ask questions respects the client's cultural norms and values. It promotes trust and encourages communication. Providing translation services (Option A) may help with language barriers but does not address the underlying issue of reluctance. Using plain language and visual aids (Option B) is helpful but may not fully address cultural differences. Involving the client's family or community (Option D) may not be appropriate if the client prefers privacy or autonomy.
Question 5 of 5
A client from an Asian background prefers a holistic approach to health care and believes that physical and
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: The Giger and Davidhizar model focuses on cultural competence in nursing care. Step 2: Social organization in the model emphasizes understanding the client's cultural beliefs and practices. Step 3: The client's preference for a holistic approach aligns with social organization, which considers cultural values and norms. Step 4: By acknowledging the client's holistic beliefs, the nurse can provide culturally sensitive care. Step 5: Therefore, choice C is correct as it directly relates to the client's cultural perspective. Summary: Choice A (Biological variation) and D (Communication) are incorrect as they do not specifically address the client's preference for a holistic approach and cultural beliefs. Choice B (Social organization) is the correct answer as it aligns with the client's cultural background and holistic health care preference.
