A nurse is conducting a cultural assessment of a client who identifies as Hispanic/Latino. Which question should the nurse ask to elicit information about the client's cultural identity?

A nurse is working with a client who has a terminal illness and is considering hospice care. The client's family is opposed to this option and wants the client to continue aggressive treatment. The nurse learns that the client and the family are from a collectivistic culture that values family harmony and decision-making. What should the nurse do to facilitate ethical and culturally sensitive care?

A) Respect the family's wishes and persuade the client to follow their advice.

B) Respect the client's wishes and inform the family that they have no say in the matter.

C) Respect the client's autonomy and support their right to make their own choices.

D) Respect the family's involvement and encourage open dialogue and negotiation among all parties.

Rationale: The nurse should ask all of these questions to elicit information about the client's cultural identity, as they can help to capture the diversity and complexity of Hispanic/Latino culture, which encompasses various ethnicities, nationalities, languages, religions, and traditions.

Incorrect options:

A) What country or region of origin do you or your ancestors come from? - This is a partial question, as it may not reflect the full extent of the client's cultural identity, which may be influenced by other factors such as language, religion, or acculturation.

B) What language or languages do you speak at home or with your family? - This is a partial question, as it may not capture the nuances of the client's cultural identity, which may vary depending on their country or region of origin, generation, or education level.

C) What religion or spiritual beliefs do you practice or follow? - This is a partial question, as it may not account for the diversity of religious or spiritual expressions among Hispanic/Latino clients, who may belong to different denominations, sects, or movements within or outside of Christianity.
