Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4
Explanation: 1. The culturally sensitive nurse should find out what medications and home remedies the client is using, and counsel the client regarding overall effects.
2. The culturally sensitive nurse will discuss the importance of a well-balanced diet during pregnancy with consideration of the client's cultural beliefs and practices.
4. Encouraging the use of support systems and spiritual aids that provide comfort for the mother is important in culturally sensitive care.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Some patients want to vocalize during labor, and some vocalize only when they perceive that they are losing control. The patient should determine whether vocalization is desirable for her.
Rationale 2: Vaginal exams are performed between contractions for all laboring patients in order to decrease discomfort.
Rationale 3: The nurse should ask the patient what type of music she would like to listen to instead of making assumptions.
Rationale 4: Massage is helpful for many patients, especially during latent and active labor. Massage can increase relaxation and therefore decrease tension and pain.
