Answer:
1.
Rationale:
Nodding
or
smiling
by
a
Japanese
American
client
may
reflect
only
the
cultural
value
of
interpersonal
harmony .
This
nonverbal
behavior
may
not
be
an
indication
of
acceptance
of
the
treatment,
agreement
with
the
speaker ,
or
understanding
of
the
procedure.
Test-T aking
Strategy:
Eliminate
options
2
and
3
first
because
they
are
comparable
or
alike.
From
the
remaining
options,
select
the
correct
option
because
it
is
characteristic
of
Asian
American
cultures.
In
addition,
option
4
is
an
incorrect
interpretation
of
the
client's
nonverbal
behavior .

Answer:
2.
Rationale:
Arranging
for
an
interpreter
would
be
the
best
practice
when
communicating
with
a
client
who
speaks
a
different
language.
Options
1
and
4
are
inappropriate
and
are
ineffective
ways
to
communicate.
Option
3
is
inappropriate
because
it
violates
privacy
and
does
not
ensure
correct
translation.
Test-T aking
Strategy:
Note
the
strategic
word
best
in
the
question.
Eliminate
option
3
first
because
it
violates
the
client's
right
to
privacy .
Next,
eliminate
options
1
and
4
noting
the
world
loudly
in
these
options
and

6.4.
The
nurse
is
providing
discharge
instructions
to
a
Chinese
American
client
regarding
prescribed
dietary
modifications.
During
the
teaching
session,
the
client
continuously
turns
away
from
the
nurse.
The
client
should
implement
which
best
action.
1.
Continue
with
instructions,
verifying
client
understanding.
2.
Walk
around
the
client
so
that
the
nurse
constantly
faces
the
client.
3.
Give
the
client
a
dietary
booklet
and
return
later
to
continue
with
instructions.
4.
Tell
the
client
about
the
importance
of
the
instructions
for
the
maintenance
of
health
care.
-
ANS
Answer:
1.
Rationale:
Most
Chinese
Americans
maintain
a
formal
distance
with
others,
which
is
a
form
of
respect.
Many
Chinese
Americans
are
uncomfortable
with
face-to-face
communications,
especially
when
eye
contact
is
direct.
If
the
client
turns
away
from
the
nurse
during
a
conversation
the
best
action
is
to
continue
with
the
conversation.
Walking
around
the
client
so
that
the
nurse
faces
the
client
is
in
direct
conflict
with
this
cultural
practice.
The
client
may
consider
it
a
rude
gesture
if
the
nurse
returns
later
to
continue
with
the
explanation.
Telling
the
client
about
the
importance
of
the
instructions
for
the
maintenance
of
health
care
may
be
viewed
as
degrading.
Test-T aking
Strategy:
Note
the
strategic
word
best.
Focus
on
the
subject,
the
behavior
of
a
Chinese
American
client.
Eliminate
options
3
and
4
first
because
these
actions
are
nontherapeutic.
To
select
from
the

options,
