A nurse is talking to a client who is explaining her home situation and the intimate partner violence she recently experienced.
Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

Choice A rationale:

Patting a child’s head can be seen as disrespectful in some cultures.

Choice B rationale:

Maintaining a respectful distance is generally accepted across cultures and shows respect for personal space.

Choice C rationale:

Direct eye contact can be seen as aggressive or disrespectful in some cultures.

Choice D rationale:

Shaking hands may not be acceptable in some cultures, especially between different genders.

Choice A rationale:

Neighborhood environment refers to the physical and social characteristics of the areas in which people live. However, this is not directly related to the client’s unemployment.

Choice B rationale:

Education refers to the opportunities for learning available to people. While it can affect employment, the client’s current challenge is not having a job.

Choice C rationale:

Economic stability refers to an individual’s financial situation. The client is unemployed, which directly affects their economic stability, making this the correct choice.

Choice D rationale:

Social and community context refers to the relationships and social connections individuals have. While important, it is not the primary challenge for this client.
