Review all ordered treatments in relation to the client’s culture.

Listen to the client’s perceptions.

Explain the purpose of the treatments, without regard to the client’s culture.

Acknowledge that the client will have to adapt their perceptions to the dominant culture.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B

A cultural assessment is a systematic way to identify the beliefs, values, meanings, and behaviours of people while considering their history, life experiences, and social and physical environments. A nurse should include reviewing all ordered treatments in relation to the client’s culture and listening to the client’s perceptions as part of a cultural assessment.

These actions show respect for the client’s preferences and facilitate communication and understanding.

Choice C is wrong because explaining the purpose of the treatments without regard to the client’s culture may be insensitive or inappropriate for some clients who have different beliefs or practices about health and illness. Choice D is wrong because acknowledging that the client will have to adapt their perceptions to the dominant culture may be disrespectful or oppressive for some clients who value their cultural identity and diversity.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

This is because heat loss by conduction occurs when two objects with different temperatures come into direct contact with each other. The baby’s skin would lose heat to the cold scale by conduction if there was no warm blanket between them.

Choice A is wrong because closing doors and windows to prevent draft (current of air with motion) would prevent heat loss by convection, not conduction. Convection is the transfer of heat from a body to moving molecules such as air or liquid.

Choice B is wrong because keeping a hat on the baby’s head would prevent heat loss by radiation, not conduction. Radiation is the transfer of heat from a body to the surroundings by electromagnetic waves.

Choice C is wrong because thoroughly drying infant after a bath would prevent heat loss by evaporation, not conduction. Evaporation is the process of liquid changing into gas and carrying away heat from the body surface.

A. Verbally question the staff about the new equipment. B. Require each nurse to take a written examination about the new equipment. C. Allow time during the workday when each nurse can demonstrate proficiency. C. Ask each nurse to read the procedure and sign a form acknowledging competency.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Allowing time during the workday when each nurse can demonstrate proficiency is the best way to evaluate staff competency with the new equipment. This method ensures that the nurses can perform the skills correctly and safely under the charge nurse’s supervision and feedback.

Choice A is wrong because verbally questioning the staff about the new equipment does not assess their practical skills or ability to use the equipment correctly.

Choice B is wrong because requiring each nurse to take a written examination about the new equipment does not assess their hands-on skills or ability to troubleshoot problems with the equipment.

Choice D is wrong because asking each nurse to read the procedure and sign a form acknowledging competency does not verify that the nurses have understood the procedure or can apply it in practice.

It also relies on the nurses’ honesty and self-assessment, which may not be accurate or reliable.
