Integrated Processes: Caring
Client Need: Psychosocial Integrity
Cognitive Level: Evaluation [Evaluating]
Concept: Diversity; Critical Thinking
Difficulty: Difficult
Feedback
A. Attending workshops is a good way to learn about diverse cultures, but this action is
too limited in scope to demonstrate cultural competence.
B. Participating in community events with diverse populations can increase cultural
knowledge, but this action is too limited in scope to demonstrate cultural
competence.
C. The culturally sensitive nurse can understand and respond to the needs of
individuals and families from different cultures. This nurse plans interventions with
a solid knowledge of the values and practices of the members of the culture. Being
open, listening to the family, and involving them in care demonstrates respect,
unifies the nurse–patient relationship, and will motivate the patient (and family) to
make positive health changes.
D. Nurses should use professional interpreters when needed.

Which action by the nurse is most appropriate?

conventional medical treatment. Adding massage to the medical regimen is an ex-
ample of using complementary therapy.
4. A nurse is working with a family that uses multiple complementary and alternative medicine
(CAM) modalities. What action by the nurse is best?

Objective: #.
Page: 18
Heading: Complementary and Alternative Therapies
Integrated Processes: Teaching and Learning
Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance
Cognitive Level: Application [Applying]
Concept: Family; Promoting Health
Difficulty: Moderate
Feedback
A. Although the nurse cannot stop the family from using CAM, they should not pass
up the opportunity to provide and discuss information about CAM.
B. A culturally competent nurse will assess how religious and spiritual beliefs affect
health-care practices, but the nurse needs to advocate for the patient/family by
providing solid information.
C. Many CAM practices have demonstrated benefit, so telling the family they don’t
work is false information.
D. The nurse working with individuals or families who use CAM practices should
respect the beliefs, values, and desires of the patient. The nurse should encourage
families to make decisions regarding CAM practices based on evidence and
research into their effects. The nurse can best assist in this by providing and
discussing information.
