Question

A client who is from a different culture than the nurse has not been able to achieve this goal: Client will select low-fat foods from a list by the end of the month. What should the nurse do?

Answer 1

The nurse should take several actions when a client from a different culture is unable to select low-fat foods.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a client from a different culture than the nurse is unable to achieve the goal of selecting low-fat foods, the nurse should take several actions. First, the nurse should understand the client's cultural background and any dietary preferences or restrictions that may influence their food choices. Next, the nurse should provide education and resources tailored to the client's cultural context, such as suggesting traditional low-fat recipes or explaining how to adapt their favorite dishes to be healthier. Additionally, the nurse should work collaboratively with the client to set realistic and achievable goals, considering cultural factors that may impact dietary choices.
