A nurse is working with a client who has a terminal illness and is considering hospice care. The client's family is opposed to this option and wants the client to continue aggressive treatment. The nurse learns that the client and the family are from a collectivistic culture that values family harmony and decision-making. What should the nurse do to facilitate ethical and culturally sensitive care?

Rationale: The nurse should use visual aids, demonstrations, and examples to supplement verbal information, as this can help to enhance comprehension, retention, and application of health education among clients who may have language barriers, low literacy skills, or different learning styles.

Incorrect options:

A) Use medical jargon and technical terms to demonstrate expertise and credibility. - This is an incorrect strategy, as it may confuse or intimidate clients who are not familiar with medical terminology or concepts, and create a power imbalance between the nurse and the clients.

C) Use a standardized curriculum and teaching materials for all clients regardless of their culture or literacy level. - This is an incorrect strategy, as it may not address the specific needs, preferences, or values of each client, and fail to account for cultural variations in health beliefs, practices, or behaviors.

D) Use humor, sarcasm, and idioms to make the teaching more engaging and memorable. - This is an incorrect strategy, as it may offend or mislead clients who do not share the same cultural or linguistic context as the nurse, and cause misunderstanding or miscommunication.
