  1. Enhance cultural skills.
  2. Gain cultural awareness.
  3. Seek cultural encounters.
  4. Acquire cultural knowledge.

Question 2

The partner of a patient at 16 weeks' gestation accompanies her to the clinic. The partner tells you that the baby just doesn't seem real to him, and he is having a hard time relating to his partner's fatigue and food aversions.
 
  Which statement would be best for the nurse to make? 1. If you would concentrate harder, you'd be aware of the reality of this pregnancy.
  2. My husband had no problem with this. What was your childhood like?
  3. You might need professional psychological counseling. Ask your physician.
  4. Many men feel this way. Feeling the baby move will help make it real.
