A mental health client is admitted to the psychiatric unit one month after abdominal surgery. During the initial assessment, the nurse asks the client about pain. In order to provide culturally competent care, the nurse should not:
 
  1. Acknowledge that each client holds various beliefs about pain.
  2. Abstain from stereotyping a client's pain responses based on the person's culture.
  3. Assume that all clients will verbally express their pain and ask for medication.
  4. Respect the client's right to react to pain in whatever manner desired.

Rationale: The nurse should not assume that all clients will verbalize pain and ask for medications. The nurse will provide culturally competent care by acknowledging differences in pain expression, accepting the manner in which clients will express pain, and abstaining from stereotyping a client's pain responses based on the person's culture.
