|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
diverse population? The nurse will plan care to:
|| || || || || || ||
A. Include care that is culturally congruent with the staff from predetermined criteria

|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
on the client's individual needs rather than the staff's practices
|| || || || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
might be expecting something totally different from the care). During assessment values, beliefs,
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
practices should be identified by the nurse and used as a guide to identify the choices by the nurse
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
to meet specific needs/outcomes of that client. Therefore identification of values, beliefs, and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
practices allows for planning meaningful and beneficial care specific for this client.

to a biological need and not a learned cultural belief or practice.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Transcultural nursing implies: || ||
A. Using a comparative study of cultures to understand similarities and differences across human
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
groups to provide specific individualized care that is culturally appropriate
|| || || || || || || || ||
B. Working in another culture to practice nursing within their limitations
|| || || || || || || || || ||
C. Combining all cultural beliefs into a practice that is a non-threatening approach to minimize
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
cultural barriers for all clients' equality of care
|| || || || || || ||
D. Ignoring all cultural differences to provide the best generalized care to all clients - ✔✔Answer:
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
A. Using a comparative study of cultures to understand similarities and differences across human
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
groups to provide specific individualized care that is culturally appropriate
|| || || || || || || || ||
Transcultural care means that by understanding and learning about specific cultural practices the || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
nurse can integrate these practices into the plan of care for a specific individual client who has the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
same beliefs or practices to meet the client's needs in a holistic manner of care.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
hospital - ✔✔Answer: B. Identify how these cultural variables affect the health problem
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
Without assessment and identification of the cultural needs, the nurse cannot begin to understand
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
how these might influence the health problem or health care management.
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Which activity would not be expected by the nurse to meet the cultural needs of the client?
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
cultural needs despite the nurse's own beliefs and practices
|| || || || || || || ||
B. Ensure that the interpreter understands not only the language of the client but feelings and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
attitudes behind cultural practices to make sure an ethical balance can be achieved
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
C. Develop structure and process for meeting cultural needs on a regular basis and means to avoid
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
overlooking these needs with clients

|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||

keep an interpreter present at all times to assist in meeting the communication needs all day and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
night while hospitalized || ||
It is not the family's responsibility to assist in the communication process. Many families will
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
leave someone to help at times, but it is the hospital's legal obligation to find an interpreter for
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
continued understanding by the client to make sure the client is fully informed and comprehends
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
in his or her primary language.
