Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Assuming that the families have the same values is ethnocentrism.
Rationale 2: Although it is important to explain health care during pregnancy and childbearing, this is not the top priority.
Rationale 3: The husband's answering questions might be a cultural norm, and insisting that the patient answer could decrease the family's trust in the healthcare system.
Rationale 4: Cultural competence is the development of skills and knowledge necessary to appreciate, understand, and work with individuals from other cultures than the culture of the nurse. Through gaining knowledge of the cultures that are likely to be encountered professionally, the nurse is able to understand the aspects of the patient's culture that might impact how care should best be given to be accepted by the patient.
