The nurse is performing a cultural assessment with a client; the nurse should include which of the following? (Select All That Apply).

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 B

Explanation

The nurse has a legal and ethical obligation to report any suspected abuse of a vulnerable client, such as an older adult. Reporting the findings is the first action the nurse should take to protect the client and initiate an investigation by the appropriate authorities.

Choice A is wrong because investigating further to confirm the suspicion is not within the nurse’s scope of practice and could delay the reporting process.

Choice C is wrong because providing the client with a crisis hotline number is not enough to ensure the client’s safety and well-being.

The client might not be able to access the hotline or might be afraid to use it.

Choice D is wrong because discussing respite care with the client’s family is not appropriate at this stage.

The nurse should not assume that the family member is willing or able to provide adequate care for the client.

Respite care might be an option after the abuse is reported and investigated.

A. Ineffective tissue perfusion. B. Activity intolerance. C. Fluid volume deficit. D. Risk for decreased cardiac output.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

This nursing diagnosis is typically not associated with anemia because anemia does not cause dehydration or loss of body fluids. Anemia is a condition in which the hemoglobin concentration or the number of red blood cells is lower than normal, resulting in decreased oxygen delivery to the tissues.

Choice A. Ineffective tissue perfusion is wrong because anemia can impair tissue perfusion by reducing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

Choice B. Activity intolerance is wrong because anemia can cause fatigue, weakness, and dyspnea on exertion due to inadequate oxygen supply to the muscles.

Choice D. Risk for decreased cardiac output is wrong because anemia can increase the risk of cardiac complications such as tachycardia, palpitations, angina, and heart failure due to increased cardiac workload and demand for oxygen.

Normal ranges for hemoglobin are 13.5 to 17.5 g/dL for men and 12 to 15.5 g/dL for women; normal ranges for hematocrit are 38.8 to 50% for men and 34.9 to 44.5% for women; normal ranges for red blood cell count are 4.7 to 6.1 million/mm3 for men and 4.2 to 5.4 million/mm3 for women; normal ranges for reticulocyte count are 0.5 to 1.5% of red blood cells.
