The nurse is making a home visit to a Korean family whose daughter gave birth 6 weeks earlier. She finds the daughter in bed with a severe headache. The daughter's father is holding her hand and is pressing different parts of the hand and lower arm.
 
  The mother explains that the father is trying to cure the headache by using pressure points. The nurse's best response would be to
  a. Tell the father to stop and give the daughter Tylenol.
  b. Ask the mother and/or father to explain the procedure.
  c. Explain to the father that what he is doing will not work.
  d. Let the father finish and then give the daughter Tylenol.

ANS: B
The nurse should not judge the patient's/family's beliefs and values about health. The nurse needs to create a comfortable, nonthreatening environment and to learn as much as possible about the patient's culture and values that influence his or her health care practices. Tylenol may not be an acceptable alternative for this family. Criticizing the family's beliefs and practices will only create a barrier to care.
