Using the tool as a guide when asking the patient questions during the health history is appropriate when conducting a cultural assessment using an approved tool. This allows the nurse to gather accurate information and identify any cultural factors that may impact the patient's health and care. Allowing a family member to translate may not be reliable or accurate, telling the patient that care cannot be provided without the tool is unethical, and refusing to use the tool without appropriate training does not address the need for cultural assessment.
