By offering to warm the soup in the microwave for the woman the nurse is demonstrating cultural appropriateness to the dietary preferences of the woman and is the basis of the most appropriate response.Cultural dietary preferences must be respected.Women may request that family members bring favourite or culturally appropriate foods to the hospital.Asking the husband what the soup contains does not show cultural sensitivity.Dietary choices in the postpartum period do not need approval from a health care provider.Asking her if she did not like her lunch is not appropriate.
