be expressed through relationships with others
2. A patient, who is a Muslim is in the hospital. The patient has high caloric requirements but is
refusing to eat during Ramadan.
What action by the nurse is best?
a. Insert a feeding tube and provide enteral feedings.
b. Ask the provider about Total Peripheral Nutrition.
c. Call the patient's religious leader for advice.
d. Tell the patient he has to eat to get better.
With permission, the nurse should consult with the patient's religious leader on this situation.
There may be exceptions to the rule to fast during Ramadan for medical conditions. The other
options ignore the patient's religious preferences, and both the tube feeding and parenteral
nutrition have potential serious side effects.
3. A patient in the hospital is an adherent Muslim. Which of the five pillars of Islam can the nurse
assist the patient in meeting?
a. Praying five times a day
b. Having privacy
c. Personal cleanliness
d. Giving alms
e. Maintaining modesty
The five pillars of Islam are: believe in one God, pray five times a day facing Mecca,
giving alms to the less fortunate, fasting during Ramadan, and making a pilgrimage to
Mecca. The nurse is best able to help the patient maintain the practice of praying five
times a day while hospitalized.
4. When teaching an Asian patient with newly diagnosed diabetes, the nurse notes the patient
nodding yes to everything that is
being said. With a better understanding of cultural interdependence in self-concept, a nurse
should immediately
a. write everything down for the patient to refer to later.
b. prompt further to elicit additional questions or concerns.
c. call the recognized elder for this patient.
d. call the oldest male relative for help with decision making.
When a nurse provides nutritional education to a patient who is from a culture that values
greater power distance, it might appear that the patient is willing to accept all that the nurse
suggests, when further prompting would elicit additional questions or concerns. The patient from
a collectivist culture will usually consult family members for a best course of action. It is not
, acceptable for nurses to take it upon themselves to call the recognized elder or oldest male
relative for help with decision making. While writing everything down may be OK for some
cultures, with Asian patients it may be best to prompt further to elicit additional questions or
concerns
5. To enhance cultural awareness, nursing students need to make an in-depth self-examination
of which attributes?
a. Motivation and commitment to caring
b. Social, cultural, and biophysical factors
c. Engagement in cross-cultural interactions
d. Background, recognizing personal biases and prejudices
Cultural awareness is an in-depth self-examination of one's own background, including
recognizing one's biases and prejudices and assumptions about other people.
6. A nurse develops a nursing diagnosis for a patient. Which factor can cause a culturally
insensitive diagnosis?
a. Cultural bias
b. Medical history
c. Generalization
d. Cultural care repatterning
The nurse's cultural biases can affect the accuracy of the nursing diagnosis, leading to a
culturally insensitive diagnosis. This is because the nurse may not be able to understand the
reasoning behind the patient's behavior. The patient's medical history will help in formulating an
accurate nursing diagnosis, as it helps understand the patient's current condition. Generalizing
will not adversely affect the nursing diagnosis; it helps anticipate and understand patient
behaviors. Cultural care repatterning respects the patient's cultural values while helping the
patient adopt new and different health care patterns for a healthier life.
7. The nurse is caring for a patient from a culture that is unfamiliar. The patient nodded her head
"yes" when asked if she will
take her prescriptions as ordered, but the nurse discovers the patient does not take the
medication but uses herbs for treatment.
What action by the nurse is best?
a. Warn the patient of the consequences on noncompliance.
b. Tell the patient how the medication will help the condition.
c. Ask the patient why herbal preparations are preferred.
d. Ask the patient to explain the meaning of the herbal products.
Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's cultural beliefs are superior to others. In order to avoid
practicing in an ethnocentric manner, the nurse needs to understand the meaning of the herbal
preparation to the patient. Warning the patient of bad outcomes will not achieve the desired
results if the herbs are culturally important and meaningful to her. Patient education is always
important but is not the best answer because it does not allow the nurse to learn from the
patient. Asking "why" questions is a communication barrier likely to put the patient on the
defensive.
8. A nurse is caring for a refugee patient who wants the community shaman to perform a
healing ritual at the bedside. What
action by the nurse is best?
a. Work with the patient to allow the shaman to perform the ritual.
b. Investigate whether the ritual will harm the patient.
