Professional Role Development
,In caring for an increasingly diverse geriatric population, which action is necessary for an RN to take, so
each patient remains a central partner in health care?
Tailor patient teaching to meet the needs of multiple cultures.
Standardize safety measures to ensure all patients remain safe.
Educate patients to conform to the hospital environment for safety.
Use a family member for translation when teaching a patient, if necessary. - *1) Hospitals today offer
teaching materials and a medical translator service in multiple languages if the cultural issue is related to
a language difference. Understanding common cultural differences and issues will also help the RN teach
the patient more effectively.
2) This is not the best option because standardizing care for all patients does not account for the
specialized needs of the geriatric population or culturally specific safety considerations.
3) The RN should understand that a patient's culture may require alternative considerations, and that the
RN may need to have an understanding of that particular culture. Expecting patients to adhere to
hospital safety standards only will put the patient at risk.
4) A family member is not the standard for translating information with the patient. The patient may
withhold information, because of privacy reasons. Using a facility's medical translator service is the
standard of care when rendering care for patients who require translation.
