[Lisaclaire]

Establishing and maintaining the therapeutic nurseclient relationship differs according to the client's cultural background. The nurse is guided by knowledge of which of the following?
 
  1. A client's religious beliefs may interfere with constructive change.
  2. Alternative values should always be discussed with the client.
  3. Clients who believe family problems should not be discussed with strangers should not be coaxed into doing so.
  4. Exploring religious beliefs with the client is not recommended.

Question 2

The nurse cares for several clients with somatoform disorders, regularly reassessing their status. The nurse is aware that it is:
 
  1. Easy to be kind, nonjudgmental, and understanding.
  2. Challenging because of the psychobiologic factors involved.
  3. Best to include objective information only.
  4. Best to include subjective information only.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: A client's religious beliefs could prevent the client from taking constructive action to change behaviors. Exploring religious beliefs and alternative values is useful if the client initiates such an action. Clients raised in restrictive family environments may not realize that a ban on discussing family problems with others is unhealthy.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: It can be difficult to assess the client because of the psychobiologic factors involved. It is not always easy to be kind, nonjudgmental, and understanding with this group of clients. Both objective and subjective information should be included in the assessment.
