Question 1 of 5
The nurse is discussing the importance of regular exercise with a client diagnosed with hypertension. The client responds, 'I just don't have the time for exercise.' The nurse determines that the client has which time orientation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Time orientation affects health behavior. A present time orientation , per cultural frameworks, prioritizes now over future benefits (e.g., exercise for hypertension), as the client focuses on immediate constraints. Past orientation clings to tradition. Future orientation plans ahead. Lack of orientation isn't a standard term. Nurses adjust education to this mindset, making it the correct orientation.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse caring for an older client learns that the client finds peace and comfort in a personal spiritual practice and aims to incorporate this into the plan of care. How can incorporating traditions and personal views in the plan of care demonstrate empathy to the individual's life experience?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Empathy honors client values. Demonstrating respect for spiritual practices , per nursing ethics, validates the client's life experience (e.g., prayer), enhancing well-being. Compromising beliefs misframes empathy. Ignoring practices contradicts care. Costs are unrelated. This shows cultural humility, making it the correct action.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client who lives in an area described as a food desert. The nurse identifies that the client is therefore at risk for which disorder?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Food deserts lack fresh food access, increasing reliance on processed, calorie-dense options. Obesity , per public health data, is a primary risk in such areas due to poor nutrition, linking to social determinants of health. Parkinson's , multiple sclerosis , and COPD aren't directly tied to food access. Nurses assess this risk to tailor education (e.g., affordable healthy choices), aligning with cultural competence models addressing environmental barriers, making this the correct disorder.
Question 4 of 5
Which action should the nurse take when a client of a different culture than the nurse stares out the window while the nurse is providing preoperative instruction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cultural norms affect eye contact. Observing its use , per Giger and Davidhizar, assesses comfort (e.g., avoidance as respect in some cultures) without forcing engagement. Staring or moving may intrude. Stopping delays care. This informs communication, making it the correct action.
Question 5 of 5
Which action by a health care organization is an example of a leadership commitment to cultural competence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Leadership drives systems. A policy for trained interpreters , per CLAS Standards, commits to LEP access, a concrete competence step. Satisfaction , outcomes , and access are goals, not actions. This ensures equity, making it the correct example.
