A 14-month-old child is admitted to the hospital. During the admission process, the nurse determines that the child and family are visiting this country from a foreign country.

The nurse is unaware of the cultural traditions and values of that country. How can the nurse best provide culturally competent health care? 1. Read about that country on the internet.
2. Ask the family members how care would be provided in their own country.
3. Ask a nurse who has visited the child's home country about life in that country.
4. Ask a coworker who comes from the same region about customs and cultures in their country.

Question 2

The nurse is working on parenting skills with a group of mothers. The mother who would need the fewest discipline-related suggestions is the:

1. Authoritarian one.

2. Authoritative one.

3. Indifferent one.

4. Permissive one.

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: While this may provide some information about culture, this is not the best choice for this particular child and family.
Rationale 2: This response provides accurate information about this family's beliefs and culture.
Rationale 3: This choice provides an outsider's view of the country and is not the best response.
Rationale 4: While this may be helpful in seeing the full picture, the family is the most direct and complete source of information.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale:

1. Children in the authoritarian parenting family are denied the opportunity to develop some skills in the areas of self-direction, communication, and negotiation.
2. The authoritative parenting style is one that results in positive outcomes for the behavior and learning of children. Nurses have observed that children from homes using this parental style more frequently have personalities manifesting self-reliance, self-control, and social competence. These parents should be praised for using the preferred approach.
3. The indifferent parenting style results in children who often exhibit destructive behaviors and delinquency.
4. Under the permissive parenting style, children do not learn the socially acceptable limits of behaviors.
