The nurse is performing a cultural assessment of an Asian family that has a child hospitalized for leukemia. What is the best technique for providing culturally competent care for this family?
Ask other Asians to explain their culture.
Hire an interpreter to explain the family culture.
Just ask the family about their culture and listen.
Research the culture and base care on findings.
The Correct Answer is C
Rationale:
A. Assuming all Asians have the same culture is a generalization and may not accurately represent the specific cultural background of the family in question.
B. Hiring an interpreter may be helpful for language translation but may not provide insights into the nuances of the family's cultural beliefs and practices.
C. Directly engaging with the family and listening to their perspectives allows for a better understanding of their specific cultural beliefs and preferences.
D. While research can provide valuable information, direct communication with the family is essential for truly understanding their cultural needs and preferences.
