Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should consider the client's belief system, as cultural beliefs and values can strongly influence food choices. It may be necessary to work with the client to understand their cultural beliefs and find alternatives to the low-fat options they have been presented with. Simply extending the time frame or changing the goal may not address the root of the problem. Ensuring the client understands the goal is important, but it may not be the sole reason for their lack of progress.
