The nurse plans to use pamphlets to teach a newly immigrated engineer from Vietnam about his diabetes mellitus. Before initiating this education, the priority information for the nurse to obtain is the client's:

1. Willingness to participate and follow instructions
2. Ability to read and understand English
3. Readiness to learn this material
4. Previous knowledge on the subject

Question 2

When interacting with a client from a culture with which the nurse is unfamiliar, the nursing ac-tion that fosters accurate nursing diagnosis would be to:

1. Seek information about the client's specific cultural group
2. Interact based on the predominant cultural group
3. Interact based on the nurse's culture
4. Interact in a way that combines several cultures

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Pamphlets are useful only if the client can read and understand the language in which the materi-al is written. The other options are secondary to this priority concern.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Most individuals are open to discussing their culture and to answering the nurse's questions about the cultural group. Options 2, 3, and 4 will inevitably lead to inaccurate assessment, mis-used nursing diagnoses, and inadequate or inappropriate care planning.
