A woman of Korean descent has just given birth to a son. Her partner wishes to give her sips of hot broth from a thermos they brought with them. They have refused your offer of ice chips or other cold drinks for the client. What should the nurse do?
 
  1. Explain to the client that she can have the broth if she will also drink cold water or juice.
  2. Encourage the client to have the broth, after the nurse takes it to the kitchen and boils it first.
  3. Explain to the couple that food is not allowed to be brought from home, but that the nurse will make hot broth for them.
  4. Encourage the partner to feed the client sips of their broth. Ask if the client would like you to bring her some warm water to drink as well.

Explanation:
1. Explaining to the client that she can have broth if she will drink cold water or juice first does not show cultural sensitivity and does not respect the client's beliefs.
2. Encouraging the client to have broth after you take it to the kitchen and boil it first does not demonstrate cultural sensitivity.
3. Explaining to the couple that food is not allowed to be brought from home but that you will make hot broth for them does not demonstrate cultural sensitivity.
4. Encouraging the partner to feed the client sips of their broth and asking if the client would like you to bring her some warm water to drink are approaches that show cultural sensitivity. The equilibrium model of health, based on the concept of balance between light and dark, heat and cold, is the foundation for this belief and practice.
