Rationale 1: What is your religious preference? Religious preference determination is a component of the cultural assessment.
Rationale 2: Can you identify any food practices which will impact your prescribed plan of care?" Dietary preferences are deeply ingrained into cultural beliefs and preferences. Assessment of dietary restrictions or preferences is a component of the cultural assessment.
Rationale 3: "To what ethnic group do you identify yourself?" Ethnicity involves both internal and external identification practices. The nurse must ask what the client prefers.
Rationale 4: "Does your mother practice the same religion as you?" Although families frequently practice the same religion it is not appropriate to make this inquiry.
Rationale 5: "What political party do you belong to?" Politics are a component of ethnicity but are not a requirement nor an appropriate question for the admission assessment.
