  Carbohydrates.

  Iron.

Question 2

A 24-year-old Korean man, visiting family in the United States, became ill and was hospitalized. He was diagnosed with class IV cardiac failure and was placed on strict bed rest because lack of cardiac reserve made him very dyspneic on any exertion.
 
  When the nurse entered the room, she found the family members had gotten him out of bed and were assisting him to squat over a bedpan on the floor. None of the Korean Americans in the room could speak English. What response indicates the most cultural understanding and sensitivity on the part of the nurse?
  A.
  The culturally sensitive nurse will allow clients and their families to continue practices that are appropriate in their culture.
  B.
  The nurse should obtain a Korean translator to teach the family and client that even though some Asian countries do not have toilets and use holes in the ground for elimination purposes, that practice is not acceptable in the United States.
  C.
  The nurse should obtain a Korean translator to communicate to the family that the health care team will not allow this behavior to be carried out.
  D.
  The nurse should obtain a Korean translator who can discuss with the family and client the implications of this type of physical exertion.
