Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Nurses should conduct a comprehensive heritage assessment to determine a patient's ethnic, cultural, and religious heritage and background, as well as how the client's relationship to personal and healthcare traditions is associated with how the client identifies with his or her race and ethnicity. While the other areas of assessment are important, the priority is the heritage assessment for the immigrant client.
