ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Practice Question
The male Navajo client comes to the clinic complaining of chest pain and has a pouch filled with objects around his neck. Which statement best supports the nurse allowing the client to wear the pouch?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Option A highlights the importance of respecting cultural practices, which is essential in providing patient-centered care. Understanding that the pouch is a significant cultural symbol allows the nurse to support the client’s identity and comfort during treatment.
Option B, while acknowledging the potential emotional response, lacks a broader understanding of cultural respect and does not justify allowing the pouch to remain.
Option C is overly broad and dismisses the need for context in cultural practices; some items may need to be removed for medical reasons.
Option D, although it acknowledges the pouch's significance, reduces its meaning to superstition, failing to recognize its cultural value and the importance of respecting the client's beliefs in a healthcare setting.
