When implementing nursing care for a client from a different culture, the nurse observes the cli-ent take a pill from a container with a label written in a foreign language. The best initial action for the nurse would be to:
 
  1. Ask the client whether he is dissatisfied with his care plan
  2. Call security to search the room and seize the medicine
  3. Insist that the client take only nurse-administered medicine
  4. Seek to determine the medication type and its purpose

Question 2

When working with a client newly emigrated from Asia who has been assessed as having xeno-phobia, the nurse could anticipate making the assessment that the individual:
 
  1. Welcomes strangers to the home
  2. Admires the customs of the new homeland
  3. Is wary of alternative or different ideas
  4. Readily joins diverse groups

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Client safety is the priority, so attempting to find out what the client has ingested is of para-mount importance. It is possible that what was taken might have potentially harmful effects that would require close observation or treatment. Option 1 is irrelevant. Option 2 is probably unnec-essary. Option 3 is not the priority.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Xenophobia is defined as a morbid fear of strangers. The xenophobic individual would neither welcome strangers into the home (option 1) nor join diverse groups (option 4). Even admiring foreign customs (option 2) is unlikely. The only behavior consistent with fear of strangers is op-tion 3.
