Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When the nurse is performing a newborn bath demonstration, the Native American mother is likely to watch from a distance, avoid eye contact with the demonstrator, ask few or no questions, and decline a return demonstration. This learning style should not be seen as indifference or lack of understanding. Being an experiential learner, the Native American woman is likely to assimilate the information provided and simply give the newborn a bath when it is needed. Their learning style is observational and oral, so the use of charts, written instructions, and pamphlets is usually not well received. Verbal instruction delivered in a story-telling format is more familiar to Native Americans.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Hispanic clients need to develop trust (confianza) in the health care provider. They do this by making small talk before getting down to the business of discussing their health problems. Muslim clients are expected to follow the Hallal (lawful) diet, which calls for dietary restrictions on eating pork or pork products, and drinking alcohol. African American males have a significantly greater chance of developing cancer and of dying from it. Communication behaviors in the Asian culture are characterized by mutuality, respect, and honesty. Health care providers are considered health experts, so they are expected to provide specific advice and recommendations. Asian clients prefer a polite, friendly, but formal approach in communication. They appreciate clinicians willing to provide advice in a matter-of-fact, concise manner.
