As a nurse assesses culture factors with clients, the most important subculture to consider is the one of:
 
  1. Poverty
  2. Blue-collar workers
  3. Upper income status
  4. Physicians' families

Question 2

The nurse is explaining discharge instructions to a Hispanic client who speaks little English. The best strategy to ensure understanding is to:
 
  1. Provide written material only
  2. Ask a relative to interpret
  3. Use the available hospital translator
  4. Use the available hospital interpreter

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Many people in poverty suffer discrimination and stigma. This subculture has been studied through research, and the government has made strides to assist. The other groups listed here have not been as clearly defined and studied.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Option 1 is incorrect because it is better to share patient education verbally so that the client can be asked whether there are questions. Option 2 is incorrect because relatives may distort infor-mation. Option 3: Translators simply restate words from one language to another verbatim, whereas an interpreter provides meaning. It is better to use an interpreter than a translator, so op-tion 4 is correct.
