The nurse recognizes that the subculture of healthcare
 
  1. Can be ignored when dealing with clients from one's culture
  2. Takes precedence over his or her own personal culture
  3. Affects thinking and cultural values
  4. Causes many nurses to view their personal cultures as more important

Question 2

The nurse admits the client to the obstetrician's office for a routine prenatal visit. The nurse obtains the client's vital signs and fetal heart tones.
 
  When the vital signs are assessed, the nurse finds the fetal heart rate and client's pulse are the same, at 92 beats per minute. The nurse interprets this to indicate: 1. The fetus is in distress, and requires immediate intervention.
  2. The fetus and mother are both doing well.
  3. The fetal heart tones should be reassessed.
  4. The mother should be admitted to the Labor and Delivery unit immediately.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: The subculture of healthcare may cause the nurse to view health practices from his or her personal culture as primitive. The client from the personal culture may lack trust in the nurse who has become part of the healthcare subculture

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: When the fetal heart tone is the same as the mother's, the nurse should reassess fetal heart tones, because it is highly likely the nurse heard placental circulation and not fetal heart tones. If the nurse determines the fetal heart rate is actually 92 beats per minute after re-evaluation, the physician should be notified.
