A Home Care Nurse Is Caring for an Older Patient

A home care nurse is caring for an older patient from a different culture who is bed-bound and high risk for development of a pressure ulcer. The nurse discusses the plan of care with the patient's daughter, emphasizing the importance of turning every 2 hours and posts a turning clock on the wall. When the nurse returns later in the week, the turning clock has been removed, and the patient's daughter reports that she turns her mother occasionally. She states, "I am taking very good care of my mother. You just don't understand; our ways do not involve doing things on schedules." The best response by the nurse is:

A) "You must follow my guidelines and turn her every 2 hours, or I will not be able to take care of her."
B) "I understand that you value your culture, but culture cannot stop you from providing good care to your mother."
C) "I understand that you care very much for your mother. Perhaps caring for her is too much for you."
D) "How can we best work together to provide the best care for your mother?"
