4. A nurse is meeting a mother, father, grandmother, and 4-year-old child. The family is Hispanic. In explaining the plan for the child’s asthma management, the nurse should direct her education to:
a.
The mother
b.
The father
c.
The grandmother
d.
The parents and the grandmother

ANS: D
Culturally competent care is delivered with knowledge of and sensitivity to cultural factors influencing health behaviors. Nurses provide culturally competent care when they identify and use cultural norms and values. In the Hispanic population, the male figure is usually the decision maker, and the family elders are highly respected. However, assumptions about cultural norms should not be made. As a result, the nurse should direct education to all three adults, as they may all have an impact on the child’s health care needs.

5. A 27-year-old has not received a Pap test in 3 1/2 years. This assessment identifies an alteration in which functional pattern?
a.
Health-perception–health-management pattern
b.
Elimination pattern
c.
Activity-rest pattern
d.
Self-perception–self-concept pattern

ANS: A
Assessment objectives for health-perception–health-management consist of obtaining data about perceptions, management, and preventive health practices. Exploring these values identifies potential health hazards. A 27-year-old should receive yearly Pap tests. Failing to do so could place her at risk for health problems, thus this finding identifies an alteration in the health-perception–health management pattern.
