Answer to Question 1

4 Rationale: When preparing to educate a client from another culture, it is important to be respectful and sensitive to the client's religion, ethnicity, and culture. The nurse must continually assess how well the client understands what is being taught. Family members can be helpful, but a trained interpreter may be necessary to help fully educate the client. It is important to utilize appropriate body language based on the client's culture. The educational resources should be provided to the client in the language they can understand and prefer. Ethnic background can be an important part of a client's culture, but their culture is more important than their ethnicity due to acculturation.
