  3. Avoid the use of interpreters to reduce the impression of a bias.

Answer to Question 1

2,4,5
Rationale 1: Providing information about differences in culture is acceptable practice, but it is not appropriate to indoctrinate patients to the nurse's own culture.
Rationale 2: In order to be culturally sensitive, it is appropriate to learn as much as possible about the cultures that live within the area served by the clinic.
Rationale 3: Interpreters will improve communication and should be utilized if necessary.
Rationale 4: Accepting cultural variations is important in being culturally sensitive.
Rationale 5: Being able to provide information in the languages spoken by groups that attend the clinic will help reduce barriers to communication.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. During school hours, the physician does not need to be involved in the child's health plan.
2. The child or family's minister does not need to be involved in the child's health plan during school hours.
3. Because some children need medications or other therapies during school hours, the parents and child, school nurse, teachers, and school administrators develop a plan to manage the child's condition during school hours. This document is the child's individualized health plan.
4. During school hours, it is not appropriate or necessary for siblings to be involved in the child's health plan.
