A nurse and client work on strategies to reduce weight.
What phase of the therapeutic relationship are the nurse and client in?

It is important for the nurse to understand the client’s cultural perspective and work with them to find a method that will help them adhere to their medication schedule.

This approach shows respect for the client’s cultural beliefs and values while also emphasizing the importance of taking their medications on time.

CHOICE A. Telling the client that they will die if they do not take their medications at a certain time is not an appropriate response as it may cause unnecessary fear and anxiety.

CHOICE B. Telling the client that it is their prerogative to follow the schedule or not does not emphasize the importance of adhering to the medication schedule.

CHOICE D. Simply providing the client with a schedule and a watch without discussing their cultural beliefs and values may not be effective in helping them adhere to their medication schedule.

The priority responsibility of the nurse is to call for a Cambodian interpreter.

This ensures that the mother’s needs and concerns are accurately communicated and understood.

It also helps to prevent any misunderstandings or miscommunications that could occur if the daughter were to interpret.

Choice A is not an appropriate response because calling the chaplain for support may not address the language barrier.

Choice B is not an appropriate response because allowing unlicensed assistive personnel to interpret could result in inaccurate or incomplete information being conveyed.

Choice D is not an appropriate response because continuing to work with the daughter for interpretation could result in misunderstandings or miscommunications.
