Which of the following statements would be appropriate for the nurse to make? 1. “I will provide you with a referral for a meeting with a genetic counselor regarding your pregnancy risks.” 2. “It is very important that the mother be notified of the baby’s genetic condition.” 3. “What a shame that you adopted a sick child rather than a healthy child.” 4. “If you would like to learn more about your child’s disease, I can refer you to a genetic counselor.” 4. A second grader enters the school nurse’s office crying and states, “I feel sick.

Which of the following statements by the nurse would be appropriate? 1. “It is very important for you to eat protein at each meal.

This is an inappropriate question. It should not be asked. 3. This question should be included when the nurse is taking the admission history. 4. This is an inappropriate question. It should not be asked. TEST-TAKING TIP: Because Native American families often seek counseling from a tribal healer, it is important to include that question. Questions that could be construed as insulting or that make assumptions about care should not be asked. Content Area: Pediatrics Integrated Processes: Nursing Process: Assessment Client Need: Psychosocial Integrity: Cultural Diversity Cognitive Level: Application 2. ANSWER: 1 Rationale: 1. This statement is appropriate. The Jewish spiritual leader is called a rabbi. 2. This statement is not appropriate. Jews do not read the scriptures that discuss Jesus. 3. This statement is not appropriate. The Jewish house of worship is called either a temple or a synagogue. 4. This statement is not appropriate. The Muslim holy sanctuary is called a mosque. TEST-TAKING TIP: It is appropriate to suggest to clients that they seek counsel with their religious advisor or clergyperson. The nurse must, however, be aware that there are differences in clients’ belief systems. For example, the nurse should never make parents feel uncomfortable if they should decide not to seek counsel from a clergyperson. In addition, if the nurse is not familiar with the clients’ beliefs, it is best to use generic terms or to consult someone who is knowledgeable. Content Area: Pediatrics Integrated Processes: Nursing Process: Implementation Client Need: Psychosocial Integrity: Cultural Diversity Cognitive Level: Application 3. ANSWER: 4 Rationale: 1. This statement is inappropriate. This child has been adopted. The child’s adoptive mother is not the child’s biological mother. This statement is inappropriate. The adoption was performed in another country. It is probable that the adoptive parents are unaware of the identity of the biological mother. 2. This statement is inappropriate. The nurse must always communicate an understanding that an adopted child is cherished as much as a biological child. 3. This statement is appropriate. Because the disease is genetic, the professionals who are most knowledgeable about the disease are genetic counselors. TEST-TAKING TIP: It must be assumed that adopted children are cherished as much as biological children. The nurse should refer to the child as the parent’s child, not as the parent’s adopted child. Content Area: Pediatrics Integrated Processes: Nursing Process: Implementation Client Need: Psychosocial Integrity: Cultural Diversity Cognitive Level: Application 4. ANSWER: 3 Rationale: 1. This statement is inappropriate. 2. Although this statement is accurate, it is inappropriate. 3. The nurse should respond with this statement. 4. This statement is inappropriate. TEST-TAKING TIP: Nurses must be prepared to care for children with same-sex parents. The children should never be made to feel that the family structure is abnormal. Content Area: Pediatrics Integrated Processes: Nursing Process: Implementation Client Need: Psychosocial Integrity: Cultural Diversity Cognitive Level: Application 5. ANSWER: 3 Rationale: 1. This statement is not appropriate. Although not universal, many Hindus are vegetarians. 2. This statement is inaccurate. Hindus do eat fruit. 3. This statement is correct. Although some vegetarians eat eggs and drink milk, others follow a more restrictive, vegan diet. 4. This statement is not appropriate. Vegetarian diets are compatible with diabetic diets. TEST-TAKING TIP: Many Hindus are vegetarians. The nurse should assume, unless advised by a licensed nutritionist, that the vegetarian diet is compatible with the diets required of medical illnesses, including diabetes.
