Question 1 A nursing student is assigned to a 19-year-old
primigravida patient in early labor who is accompanied by her
mother. Both speak very little English. The student knows an
interpreter will be used for the initial conversation. To provide
culturally competent care, which nursing action should the student
prioritize? a) Begin the conversation by discussing political unrest in
the patient's country of origin to build rapport. b) Ask the patient if
she plans to have her newborn circumcised if it's a boy to anticipate
procedural needs. c) Engage in eye contact with the patient and her
mother while speaking through the interpreter. d) Tell the interpreter
to lead the questioning since they are familiar with the unit's routine
questions.
Answer: c
• Rationale a: This is contraindicated. Discussing sensitive topics like
politics can create discomfort and is not appropriate for building a
therapeutic relationship.
• Rationale b: This is non-essential for the initial conversation. This
question is not a priority during early labor assessment and can be
addressed later.
• Rationale c: This is an indicated action. Making eye contact with
the patient and family, not the interpreter, shows respect and helps
establish a therapeutic relationship.
• Rationale d: This is contraindicated. The nurse is responsible for the
assessment and should direct the conversation, using the interpreter
to facilitate communication, not to lead the care.
,Question 2 A nurse is preparing a home visit for a postpartum
patient who was discharged early. The patient belongs to a culture
where the birthing experience is viewed as a female affair. Her
husband seems distant and uninvolved. How should the nurse best
apply the principle of cultural relativism? a) Insist that the husband
participate in newborn care education to align with Western
healthcare expectations. b) Recognize that the husband's behavior
is based on his cultural norms and avoid making judgments. c)
Document the husband's lack of involvement as a potential risk
factor for poor family bonding. d) Ask the interpreter to explain to
the husband why his participation is important for the baby's health.
Answer: b
• Rationale a: This action reflects ethnocentrism, the belief that one's
own cultural way is best, and ignores the family's cultural norms.
• Rationale b: This demonstrates cultural relativism, which involves
understanding that another person's behavior can be based on a
different system of logic and affirming the value of every culture
without judgment.
• Rationale c: Labeling the behavior as a risk factor without cultural
context is an ethnocentric judgment and may not be accurate for
this family.
• Rationale d: This approach imposes the nurse's values on the family
and may create conflict rather than fostering a therapeutic
relationship.
,Question 3 A student nurse is creating a genogram for a family that
includes a same-sex married couple with a child from a previous
heterosexual union. The student feels awkward and refers to them as
an "alternative" family in the report. What is the most important
reason for the preceptor to correct this terminology? a) The term
"alternative" is outdated and has been replaced by more modern
sociological terms. b) The term "alternative" presumes there is a
single "norm" for families, which is inaccurate and disrespectful. c)
Using the term "alternative" could violate HIPAA by revealing the
parents' sexual orientation. d) The correct term according to the U.S.
Census Bureau is "nonbiologic-parent family."
Answer: b
• Rationale a: While terminology evolves, the primary reason to
avoid "alternative" is not about being modern but about being
respectful and accurate.
• Rationale b: The sources explicitly state that the term "alternative" is
not used because it presumes a "norm" against which other family
structures are compared. It is more accurate to describe it as
another form of family.
• Rationale c: HIPAA protects health information, but using this term
is more an issue of cultural competence and respect than a direct
HIPAA violation.
• Rationale d: "Nonbiologic-parent family" is one type of family
structure, but the key issue here is the specific inappropriate use of
the word "alternative" for an LGBTQIA family.
, Question 4 A home care nurse visits a high-risk pregnant patient
who has just been placed on bed rest. The patient lives in a
multigenerational household with her parents and her own children.
The nurse notes tension in the home. Which assessment question
would be most appropriate to open a therapeutic conversation
about family function? a) "Who in the family is responsible for
making sure you take your medicine?" b) "Have you made plans for
your care as your health declines?" c) "When you think back, what
do you most enjoy about your life?" d) "How can we get your
children to help with your care?"
Answer: a
• Rationale a: This is a functional assessment question from the
Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM) that explores
instrumental aspects (activities of daily living) and roles within the
family, which is relevant to the new stress of bed rest.
• Rationale b: This is a developmental assessment question more
appropriate for end-of-life planning and is not suitable for a
pregnant patient on bed rest.
• Rationale c: This developmental assessment question is too broad
and not focused on the immediate stressor caused by the patient's
new diagnosis.
• Rationale d: This question is presumptive and could alienate family
members. The nurse should first assess existing roles before
suggesting changes.
