The nurse makes certain that a client who is Catholic is able to attend Mass on Sunday. The nurse has determined the client's religious practices from the assessment. This is an example of:
1. Ethnocentrism.
2. Cultural blindness.
3. Culturally competent care.
4. Differential treatment based on spiritual beliefs.
3
Rationale: The nurse has increased competence through the skilled use of the nursing assessment to deliver care that is culturally appropriate. The care provided has been individualized based on the client's assessment. Clients would receive care based on their own spiritual needs. Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own cultural values are superior and preferable to any other cultural group. Cultural blindness would occur if the nurse did not consider the client's individual differences in the plan of care.
