A 42-year-old patient of Asian descent is being seen at the clinic for an initial
examination. The nurse knows that including cultural information in his health assessment is
important to:
Identify the cause of his illness.
Make accurate disease diagnoses.
Provide cultural health rights for the individual.
Provide culturally sensitive and appropriate care.
Question 2
A patient is brought by ambulance to the emergency department with multiple traumas
received in an automobile accident. He is alert and cooperative, but his injuries are quite
severe. How would the nurse proceed with data collection?
Collect history information first, then perform the physical examination and institute life-
saving measures.
Simultaneously ask history questions while performing the examination and initiating life-
saving measures.
Collect all information on the history form, including social support patterns, strengths, and
coping patterns.
Perform life-saving measures and delay asking any history questions until the patient is
transferred to the intensive care unit.
