Question 1 of 5
Which action should the nurse take to meet the nutritional needs of a Jewish client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Culturally sensitive care respects individual beliefs. Asking the client about dietary preferences ensures the nurse addresses specific Jewish dietary laws (e.g., kosher), which vary (e.g., avoiding pork or mixing dairy and meat). Ordering a kosher meal assumes uniformity, risking oversight of personal variations. Paper plates are irrelevant to nutrition. Consulting a dietitian is secondary without client input. Per nursing principles, understanding the client's needs first fosters trust and tailors care, aligning with transcultural models like Leininger's, making this the correct action.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing care to an older adult client who follows a traditional cultural practice of using herbal remedies alongside prescribed medications. How can the nurse incorporate the client's cultural practice of using herbal remedies into the plan of care while ensuring the client's safety and well-being?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Safety and culture balance via collaboration. Assessing safety and interactions , per nursing standards, integrates herbal use (e.g., checking for drug-herb conflicts like St. John's Wort) with medical care. Education to stop dismisses beliefs. Herbalist referral shifts responsibility. Disregarding lacks respect. This ensures holistic care, making it the correct action.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
