Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is reluctant to take pain medication, fearing that if they do so others will see them as weak. Which of the following statements best describes how the nurse should initially respond?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cultural humility starts with understanding. Acknowledging cultural influences and listening , per nursing standards, respects the client's fear of weakness (e.g., stoicism in some cultures) and builds trust. Education or encouragement (Choices C, D) without context may dismiss beliefs, risking resistance. Initial listening informs tailored care, making this the correct response.
Question 2 of 5
A client from an Asian background prefers a holistic approach to health care and believes that physical and mental health are interconnected. According to the Giger and Davidhizar model, which component of the model should the nurse consider when providing care for the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Giger and Davidhizar's model includes six phenomena. Communication is key for a holistic Asian client, as beliefs about health interconnection (e.g., yin-yang balance) are expressed verbally/nonverbally, guiding care. Biological variation addresses physiology. Social organization is family structure. Time is orientation. Nurses adapt via communication, making it the correct component.
Question 3 of 5
Which is an example of a nurse practicing culturally congruent care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Culturally congruent care integrates client values with evidence. Using evidence-based practice , per Leininger's theory, adapts care to cultural needs while maintaining efficacy (e.g., respecting herbal use with meds). Nurse-centered beliefs or discouraging healers dismiss culture. Standardized plans lack personalization. This balances science and culture, making it the correct example.
Question 4 of 5
Which action should the nurse take when teaching a client with a low health literacy level?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Low health literacy needs simplicity. Using client-familiar terms , per health literacy guidelines, enhances understanding (e.g., 'pain' vs. 'analgesia'). Medical terms confuse. Loudness doesn't clarify. Verbal-only skips visuals. This ensures comprehension, making it the correct action.
Question 5 of 5
Which action by a nurse promotes a welcoming environment for culturally diverse clients?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Welcoming environments signal inclusion. Displaying diverse brochures and posters , per nursing practice, visually affirms varied backgrounds (e.g., ethnic images). Birth names may misalign with preference. Family interpreters compromise accuracy. Multilingual rights help but aren't visual. This fosters belonging, making it the correct action.
