Question 1 of 5
Which nursing actions demonstrate cultural competence? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because planning mealtime around the patient's prayer schedule shows respect for the patient's religious beliefs and cultural practices. This action demonstrates cultural competence by acknowledging and accommodating the patient's needs and preferences. The other choices, although important in addressing the spiritual and cultural needs of patients, do not specifically demonstrate cultural competence as directly as option A. Helping a patient visit with the hospital chaplain (B) and providing time for a patient's spiritual healer to visit (D) are important for spiritual support but may not necessarily address cultural competence. Researching foods for a lacto-ovo-vegetarian patient (C) is more related to dietary preferences rather than a demonstration of cultural competence.
