A nurse is working in a clinic where people from several cultures are seen. As a first step toward the goal of personal cultural competence, the nurse will:
 
  1. Enhance cultural skills.
  2. Gain cultural awareness.
  3. Seek cultural encounters.
  4. Acquire cultural knowledge.

Question 2

The midwife performs a vaginal exam and determines that the fetal head is at a -2 station. The nurse knows that birth:
 
  1. Is imminent.
  2. Is likely to occur in 12 hours.
  3. Will occur later in the shift.
  4. Is difficult to predict.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Ways to enhance cultural skill include learning a prevalent language and learning how to recognize health-manifesting skin color variations in different races.
Rationale 2: One begins by gaining cultural awareness or by gaining an effective and cognitive self-awareness of personal worldview biases, beliefs, etc.
Rationale 3: During daily interactions with clients from diverse backgrounds, these cultural encounters allow the nurse to appreciate the uniqueness of individuals from varying backgrounds.
Rationale 4: Another early step, although not the first step, is acquiring cultural knowledge, and includes studying information about the beliefs, biological variations, and favored treatments of specific cultural groups.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Birth is not imminent at this time.
Rationale 2: Birth will not likely occur in 12 hours.
Rationale 3: Birth cannot really be predicted at this time.
Rationale 4: A -2 station means that the fetus is 2 cm above the ischial spines. With the infant's head that high in the pelvis, it is difficult to predict when birth will occur.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
