Psychosocial IntegrityQuestion 1775 of 2368
A nurse is admitting a client from a cultural group the nurse has read about. Which approach reflects cultural humility?
- Ask the client about their own beliefs instead of assuming group values
- Apply the typical beliefs of the cultural group to the client's care plan
- Avoid discussing beliefs altogether so the client is not offended
- Ask a family member to explain the culture on the client's behalf
Show answer
Correct answer: Ask the client about their own beliefs instead of assuming group values
Each person is unique, and beliefs vary within a culture, so nurses refrain from assuming the values of cultural groups.
