The nurse recognizes that ethnicity differs from race in that ethnicity:
 
  1. Refers to subgroups within a race
  2. Is a unique factor within a cultural group
  3. Includes more than biological identification
  4. Is the set of conflicting values between races

Question 2

The nurse is caring for a homeless client who recently emigrated from China. The client has a language barrier, and the hospital has been unsuccessful in locating any relatives.
 
  The health care provider is considering the option of placing the client on a respirator to manage a severe respiratory tract problem. To be a caring advocate for this client, the nurse must first:
  1. Ask the hospital chaplain to arrange for appropriate religious support
  2. Be sure that the client receives the best available care for his condition
  3. Arrange for a Chinese interpreter to facilitate client-staff conversations
  4. Become familiar with the Chinese culture's attitudes regarding life support

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Ethnicity refers to a shared identity related to social and cultural heritage, such as values, lan-guage, geographical space, and racial characteristics. Race refers to biological attributes.
Subcultures refer to subgroups within a race. A variant cultural pattern is a unique factor within a cultural group. Ethnocentrism is the root of biases and prejudices comprising beliefs and attitudes associating negative permanent characteristics with people who are perceived to be different from the valued group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
To caringly advocate for this client, the nurse must first be familiar with the client's cultural prac-tices regarding life support. Arranging for religious support is appropriate only if the general cul-ture indicates a reliance on religion and/or if the interpreter determined it was a client need.
While being sure the client receives the best available care for his condition is certainly the role of a nurse advocate, it is only after the nurse caringly knows the client that it can be determined what the best care really is for this client. Arranging for an interpreter will assist in knowing the client, which will aid in becoming the client's advocate.
