Question 1 of 5
When considering culturally competent care for a Muslim patient diagnosed with cardiac problems, which intervention is particularly important to implement initially when a low-fat diet is prescribed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Identifying dietary considerations. This is important because it involves understanding the specific dietary restrictions and preferences of the Muslim patient, such as halal food requirements and cultural foods. Requesting a dietary consult (A) may be necessary but not the initial step. Explaining the importance of a low-fat diet (C) is important but should come after identifying specific dietary considerations. Including the family in conversation about food preparation (D) is beneficial but not the initial step in culturally competent care for the patient's low-fat diet.
Question 2 of 5
Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, physiological needs for a restrained patient include: Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Checking the tightness of the restraints. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, physiological needs, such as safety, air, water, food, and rest, are the most basic. Checking the tightness of restraints ensures the patient's safety and physical well-being by preventing injury or discomfort. Private toileting and oral hydration are important but fall under basic hygiene and hydration needs, not specifically related to a restrained patient's safety. Therapeutic communication is essential for psychological well-being but does not address the immediate physiological needs of a restrained patient. Maintaining a patent airway is crucial for breathing but is not directly related to the physical safety aspect of restraints.
