Accepted Answer

The nurse educator is practicing Transcultural Nursing, which is a formal area of study and practice focused on understanding and providing culturally congruent care to individuals of different cultures, beliefs, and values. Cultural competence and knowledge are important concepts within transcultural nursing, but they are not the specific type of nursing being practiced in this scenario. Competent nursing is a general term and does not provide enough information to accurately describe the nurse educator's practice.

Question 3

A client who is from a different culture than the nurse has not been able to achieve this goal: Client will select low-fat foods from a list by the end of the month.What should the nurse do?

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.

Accepted Answer

It is important for the nurse to respect the client's cultural practices and beliefs. Instead of dismissing or challenging them, the nurse should try to understand the reasons behind the client's behavior and provide relevant scientific information that aligns with the client's cultural beliefs. By negotiating and exploring the client's views, the nurse can create a trusting relationship, which can lead to better health outcomes.

The nurse should access resources that focus on health disparities, health equity, and cultural competence. The National Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities, the National Stakeholder Strategy for Achieving Health Equity, and the Office of Minority Health's standards provide relevant information. The National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities also focuses on these issues. The CDC website for employment opportunities is not directly relevant to improving health care for ethnically diverse clients.

Standard Text: Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Culture refers to a shared set of thoughts, beliefs, and customs that shape the way people view the world and interact with others. It is not limited to biological markers or specific groups, but rather encompasses a wide range of social and behavioral elements. Male nurses, for example, are not a culture themselves but are members of various cultures that shape their beliefs and practices related to healthcare. It is important for healthcare providers to understand and respect these cultural differences in order to provide effective, patient-centered care.

Question 9

The nurse is working in a clinic setting and is meeting a new client for the first time.In order to convey cultural sensitivity,how should the nurse introduce herself?

Accepted Answer

Introducing oneself with their full name and job title indicates respect and professionalism, while avoiding assuming familiarity. This approach also avoids using any title or reference to another healthcare provider that the client may not know or may not be comfortable with.
