Question

The nurse is working with a client whose culture includes honoring one's parents and being obedient, keeping "private" matters within the family only, and not talking with strangers about family matters. given this client's belief system, how will the nurse use therapeutic communication effectively?

Answer 1

Hey!! The nurse will use therapeutic communication by honoring their patient's wishes but also providing the highest standard of medical care.

Step-by-step explanation:

This includes being compassionate and making it clear to the patient that their wishes will be upheld but also as a nurse you have a responsibility to educate the patient on all aspects of their health. It should be clear that their MEDICAL concerns are the biggest priority. It is best not to "push" patients because this might cause a lapse of trust in the nurse-patient relationship.
