| d. | “Before the interview I will take a few minutes to review actions that might offend a patient of this culture.” |
ANS: D
The nurse should use established references in order to be familiar with specific patient cultures. Simple actions, gestures, and attitudinal displays that are part of the nurse’s culture may be offensive to a patient of a different culture. Understanding this indicates that the nurse will make an effort to display cultural sensitivity.

| b. | They characteristically do not engage in early termination from care. |
| c. | They tend to dislike using community support systems. |
| d. | They tend to avoid using family support systems. |
ANS: A
Research suggests that members of minority groups delay seeking help until their problems are intense, chronic, and at a stage that is difficult to treat, and until community and family support systems have been exhausted. Delays in accessing care and early termination from care create a cyclical reliance on more costly health care services.

| a. | “These questions are routine and are a mandatory part of the admission process.” |
| b. | “The prime reason is that these questions help the staff to identify any specific health care practices that would conflict with your religious beliefs.” |
| c. | “Mental health can be affected by personal belief systems, so it is important that your treatment plan be developed to be compatible with your beliefs.” |
| d. | “These questions are asked of every patient and are confidential, but if you are not comfortable answering them I will simply note that in your chart.” |
ANS: C
A person’s belief system, worldview, religion, or spirituality can have a positive or negative effect on mental health. Belief systems play a vital role in determining whether a particular explanation and associated treatment plan will have meaning for the patient and others in the patient’s social network. Declaring that something is routine/mandatory does not address the patient’s question nor does ensuring confidentiality. Addressing religious beliefs is only a partial focus of the interview process.
