A resident in a nursing home recently immigrated to the United States from Italy. How does the nurse plan to provide emotional support? 1 By offering choices consistent with the client's heritage 2 By ensuring that the client understands American beliefs 3 By assisting the client in adjusting to the American culture 4 By correcting the client's misconceptions about appropriate health practices

1 Adherence to a plan of care is enhanced by the nurse's providing choices consistent with the client's cultural beliefs and practices. The nurse's cultural or personal beliefs and biases should not influence or interfere with the implementation of appropriate care. Helping the client adjust to the American culture is not the priority at this time; care should be adapted to the client's needs and culture. The person's cultural practices should not be addressed unless they are detrimental to the person's health.

A nurse understands that value clarification is a technique useful in therapeutic communication because initially it helps client: 1 Become aware of their personal values. 2 Gain information related to their needs. 3 Make correct decisions related to their health. 4 Alter their value systems to make them more socially acceptable

1 Value clarification is a technique that reveals individuals' values so the individuals become more aware of them and their effect on others. Gaining information, making correct health decisions, and altering value systems to make them more socially acceptable are not outcomes of value clarification.

After determining that the nurses on the psychiatric unit are uncomfortable caring for clients who are from different cultures than their own, the nurse manager establishes a unit goal that by the next annual review there will be: 1 Increased cultural sensitivity 2 Decreased cultural imposition 3 Decreased cultural dissonance 4 Increased cultural competence

4 Cultural competence encompasses sensitivity as well as knowledge, desire, and skill in caring for those who are different from one's self. The nurses are already somewhat sensitive to those from different cultures and now must move forward in their ability to care for these clients. The nurses are not imposing their culture on the clients; they are avoiding them. There is no clashing of cultures in this situation.

A nurse is with the parents of a 3-year-old child who has just died. The most therapeutic question for the nurse to ask the parents is: 1 "Do you feel ready to consent to an autopsy?" 2 "Have you made a decision made about organ donation?" 3 "Would you like to talk about how you'll tell your other children?" 4 "Can I be of any help with traditional practices that are important to you?"

4 The nurse should be sensitive to any cultural or religious beliefs that may help the parents cope with their grief. Immediately discussing the topic of autopsy or organ donation is insensitive to the parents' grief at this time. The parents are too involved with their own grief at this time to consider their other children's grief.
