for the nurse to take at this time?

B) Repeat the assessment later in the day.
C) Inquire as to the culture with which the client identifies.
D) Communicate the findings to the health care team.
Answer: C
1
Explanation: A) A thorough assessment is needed before proceeding with other
steps of the nursing process.
Cultural beliefs strongly influence what is defined as mental illness or mental
health. Behavior
that is considered bizarre in one cultural context may be considered desirable in
another. While
findings will be communicated and used for nursing diagnosis formulation later
in the process,
these steps are built upon a thorough assessment. Repeating the
assessment without the cultural assessment will most likely result in the
same incomplete data.
